- Carving jewelery outside of Chen Jia Si, Guangzhou, China.
s
In Guangzhou, China, the artist carves jewelery out of animal bone: Pendants for necklaces, charms for bracelets and anklets. He offered me a discount on a necklace bearing the carved likeness of an Olympic mascot. I have seen enough of the Beijing Olympic Fuwa(s), thank you very much.
I settled on a break-apart medallion, reminiscent of an ancient Chinese royal seal. One half shows a carved dragon, the symbol of the emperor, the other a phoenix, the symbol of the empress. I sent half the creation with a visiting British teacher to Mrs. Stevo. She has yet to receive it.
