Celebrating the Year of the Rabbit


This exhibition at the Met presents fifteen remarkable Chinese works illustrating how rabbits have been a prominent artistic subject since ancient times. A popular figure in literature and folklore, a rabbit is believed to inhabit the moon and assist the goddess Chang’e by preparing her elixir of immortality, as shown on the back of an eighth- to ninth-century bronze mirror as well as on a nineteenth-century embroidered silk mirror case.

That's quite an exciting collage, Jacki! Do you also have the sentence "to cross a red line"? The red line in your collage tells the red line has already been crossed too far!
How lovely to hear and see you met 2 of your grandsons. Precious time ...

Thank you Elenor, yes we do have that saying of crossing red line, or just crossing the line. Yes, precious time indeed. Have a lovely weekend.

Thanks so much, John. I was thinking about you as I worked on this last night.
