January 1 - OX

2009 is the Year of the OX.


The first day of a Chinese New Year falls on the new moon day of the first lunar month of the year and in this case it happens to be January 26th which is also my birthday.


Here's the photo of the page I did for this day. The first page of many.



The symbol at the top RHS is the Chinese character for "Year of the Ox". The background colour is the same as a Dulux colour called Ox Blood. We've just had our verandah deck repainted with it.

I like the way that gold gel pen works really well on dark background colours.

My book is now launched and on its journey through new things for 365 days. Yay!
