Lantern-Making in China

Su-King, a 17-year-old girl from Jiaxing in Zhejiang

Province, China, sent me this card. She said it is about

a traditional Chinese art. The legend on the front

of the card tells about the 8 techniques used in

lantern-making--puncture, bending, knotting,

binding, carving, painting, pasting and mounting.

Thank you, Su-King, for the great card.

I love the lanterns shown at the top too!

These pretty little bird and flower

stamps brought Su-King's card to me.
