Chinese New Year- Wishing Tree

WE WENT THROUGH CHINA TOWN AND INTO THE CHINESE ARTS CENTRE WHERE THERE WAS A HUGE WOODEN TREE THAT PEOPLE HAD COME AND MADE A CHINESE LANTERN TO HANG OFF THE TREE WITH A WISH WRITTEN ON IT!!


IN THE LAST TERM I DID A TREND BRIEF AND ONE OF MY 3 WAS 'LEAVE YOUR MARK' BASED ON THE SMALL GROWING TREND THAT THERE ARE PLACES ALL AROUND THE WORLD WHERE YOU CAN ADD YOUR PIECE OR LEAVE YOUR MARK ON SOMETHING THERE AS A MEMORY. NEAR MY HOME IS THAWS ROCK IN WHICH THERE ARE MILLIONS O NAMES CARVED INTO THE SANDSTONE...IV PUT MINE ON COUNTLESS TIMES. IN BUDAPEST WE FOUND A BAR CALLED FREE HOUSE WHERE THE MANAGER GAVE US A PIN TO ATTACH SOMETHING OF OURS SO WE DID A LITTLE DRAWING ON A BEER MAT WITH OUR NAMES AND THE DATE.


ITS A REALLY COOL THING TO DO AND I LOVE KNOWING THAT I LEFT SOME THING AT A CERTAIN PLACE TO ADD TO THE BUILD UP OF SOMETHING AMAZING.
