Happy Lunar New Year!!  Welcome the Year of the...

Picture
Okay, so it is suppose to be the year of the Horse, and I have a picture of a Lion Head, but still, it is still part of the Lunar New Year celebrations.

Actually, I tried working on a more muscular horse, but I wasn't satisfied enough with the design to share it on this blog.  Past couple of days have been busy with all the celebrations and all.  Despite all the celebrations and red envelopes, to me, it's all about the food and getting together with family.  Food this time of year is amazing; excellent chicken, fish, vegetables and (most importantly) desserts!

So, about the lion head.  Normally you see these come out during times of celebration (weddings, grand openings, birthdays, etc.).  If you haven't seen Lion Dancing, you can find it here. (Side note: I've dabbled in traditional lion dancing in the past and it is extremely hard!).  I didn't make the rest of the body as the head alone took me the majority of the day to make.  Never made this before, so it was pretty ambitious on my part.  But I think it turned out pretty good.  What do you think?


Happy Lunar New Year to everyone!
