Delicate

Wednesday, April 23, 2008

These are 12 paper-thin bookmarks from China, made of some kind of wood. The 12 girls on the front represent the 12 beauties of Chinling, characters from the great classical Chinese novel "A Dream of Red Mansions". I'm not sure what the writings on the back are ... maybe it's the name of the girl on the front and the noble family they're from. These are so delicate that I couldn't even bear to take them off the plastic and use them. I'm afraid they'll break!

    Wow - these are really cool. Catching up with your other photos too. Like the huge world sculpture in the road photo. Very fun yellow photo too!

    A very original photo for delicate and thanks for adding the info :-) It was good to read what they were.

    I wouldn't be able to use then either!
