12-17th Jan, Qiuyuan Fu (Sherry)

I got the book after the New Year, it was already approaching Chinese Spring Festival, so I added some traditional elements to this book. Firstly, I put a Chinese knot on the cover page. In our culture, Chinese knot could bring happiness and blessing to people. Then I cut a flower and a butterfly on one page with a small scissors, because people in China paste the paper-cut to the windows to celebrate festivals. Finally, I made a tiny tea bag and stitched it to the last page. The tea leaves inside were from JiangSu Province, China, my hometown.
