Okinawan Lion Dog - 4/3 Th Challenge

The Thursday 4/3 Challenge was create a page inspired by two vessels selected by Nica. The first one inspired me to use branches on my page. The second one inspired the cream, red-orange and gold color palette.

 

Journaling: Everywhere we went in Okinawa we saw lion dogs, called “shii-saa” in Okinawan. Most homes had a pair of these guardian dogs on their gateposts to ward off evil spirits and keep in good spirits. This large shisa sculpture was by the boys’ school.
