Finished pieces

Post by Gypsy57 »

Hello! So, I'm new but I thought I'd show off my finished ones for you all to see: These are the large ones. I have done a lot of mini ones,too. These were finished before I realised you could iron them!! The red Chinese character means good luck, and all the background characters are ancient ones that are no longer used, but apparently also mean good luck. I love flowers, hence a lot of flowers! :)

:applesauce: :applesauce: Thank you for posting these lovely pieces. I agree with Serinde, that the tiger has some attitude! I can just about hear him growling! Love the flowers but my favorite is the piece with the Chinese characters.

Welcome from Colorado, and thanks for sharing the pictures. Your work is so pretty. I especially like the tiger; what do the characters on the left say? All your flowers are pretty, too. Looking forward to more.

Thanks everyone!! I also like the flowers with the different coloured pots. It was fun to do, too!
I'm not sure what the Chinese says on the tiger. I asked some Chinese friends but they couldn't translate it either. I think it's an old expression. Tigers are important in China- I think they mean "strength", or something.One Chinese friend just said it means "this tiger... something something..." haha!
Thank you~! I will post my minis at some point!
