We learned that the women of the families usually take part in paper cutting because they are much more patient then the men. Nice!
We watched one woman cut a pretty butterfly and she showed us a few of her past designs. The were unreal. She let us try cutting easy little butterflys and even those were difficult. I bought three paper designs from the gallery and I can't wait to show everyone at home how beautiful they are!

Patience really is a virtue, isn't it? I think I will go google paper cutting and see some examples of what you guys are talking about. Karen Wells DSA South Africa
What a fabulous opportunity you have had. Interesting that women are the artists because they have the patience required for the art. I am beginning to think that you would have to have a large spending budget in China; everything is so beautiful and you would want to bring back a sample of everything. At some point, I would love to see a photograph of your treasured purchases.
Enjoy the trip; it seems incomparable to anything else (except another Discovery trip).
