Subject: Happy new year!!!! I hope 2005 will be a fantastic year to you all!!!..... BTW I mailed the new year's cards .(Japanese custom) I used a brush and pastel, and painted this year's animal CHICKEN. I started to paint "sumie" &"ehagaki" with my mom. I will show you, when I practice more.

Author: Loraine [Edit] Date Posted: 01/ 1/05 12:57 Basically, from what I found, the year of the chicken/rooster/bird will be much like the year before, except the water element will be missing so things will be *yikes* more intense. Unfinished business from the previous year will continue and wind up this year. Here's more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_New_Year [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
