Theme 35: Sheep, goat, ram

Happy New Year! Kung Hei Fat Choi!
This means congratulations and wishing you prosperity!
I hope the year of the sheep (goat or ram) brings us all the best!
The sheep is a Yin energy, a symbol of Peace, harmonious co- existence and Tranquility. That is the mood for this year. Here you can read about the year of the sheep: 2015-year-sheep
I am proud to present the gallery of sheep!

Although we had less time to make the artwork, we have a lot of lovely sheeps. Susan was very quick, she sent in her artwork the same day the theme was presented! And Naomi's artwork was just saved in time out of her baby sisters hands. But here they are!
Enjoy watching and reading about the Year of the Sheep! Scroll down to see all the artworks seperately. Hope to see you back!

Theme of februari: Sheep, goat or ram

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important celebration in the Chinese calender. The Chinese year 4713 begins on Feb. 19, 2015. Legend tells, Buddha asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year. Twelve came, and Buddha named a year after each one. He announced that the people born in each animal's year would have some of that animal's personality.

This year it is the year of the sheep, goat or ram. Those born in sheep (goat/ram) years are often artistic, charming, sensitive, and sweet. It is known as the most creative sign in the Chinese zodiac. Read more on http://www.infoplease.com
More information about the year of the sheep (goat/ram) will follow later. As the new year starts on februari 19 I would like to ask you to send in your artwork untill the 18th of februari! In this case we can put the gallery on the blog on the 19th of februari the date the year of the sheep (goat/ram) begins.
You can make a sheep, a goat or a ram, just pick the one you like most!

Theme of January: Noodle bowls

Welcome at the blog of The Difference of 25.
First of all I wish you a happy New Year!
I hope you all enjoyed the holidays. One of the things I did was visit the China Light Festival in Utrecht. It was fantastic to see how different artist made all kind of light objects. One of my favorites was this nice China noodle bowl. This inspired me for the theme of January: Noodle bowls.

You can make a funny bowl or a traditional Chines one, but you can also make a fancy one, photoshop your picture on it or clay one yourself!
The only limit is the deadline which is the 23th of January.
Pherhaps you can start with eating some noodles before you start! Hope to see you back.
