Chinese Calligraphy

 Today's Sunday Stamps theme is calligraphy, and I always admire beautifully drawn Chinese characters (also called logographs).

Thanks to Fafa, I have this wonderful Year of the Dragon mini-sheet to share.

    A great sheet. Again, just in time!
    The dragon on the stamp seem angrier than the one on the sheet. Actually, the latter seems very happy to me :)

    I took a class once on writing mandarin... did not get anywhere with it! I was just so confused the whole time.

      I'm amazed at the number of characters a fluent writer would know.

    I agree with mail Adventures on the happy/angry dragons. A great mini sheet.
