Xiamen, China

A high light for me was the Huihe Stone culture park. Some great old sculptures dating back to 1300 and a studio where artists today practice old world skills. And they teach various art skills. They also have a stage for hand puppet shows and demonstrated old world musical instruments.

Classic Buddha statue
Artist “shadow carving” on a polished black slate.
Shadow carving looks something I could do!
I got to try my hand at shadow carving.
I got this!!!
However, Patty says no new hobbies Rod!
Puppetry is also an old Chinese art form. I think I can do this!!! I’m bringing two of these puppets home and grandkids and I will have some fun!!
