RED CLASS:
The Cloissone Factory
The design

The design is glued to the copper base


A worker paints the colors into the design

The piece is fired and polished and it is finished.


Sam made some new friends and sat down to play checkers!


We went to a traditional Chinese tea ceremony while in Beijing.. The women just loved Sam...they wanted to pick him up, touch him, and have their picture made with him...poor guy (ha!)





The sacrificial slaughter house at the Temple of Heaven made of jade

Roberta, got your e-mail. Don't worry about writing me. We'll catch up when you get home. I know that you will need at least 2 weeks to recoup. I'm glad that you guys are enjoying yourselves. "Sam really is the ham" isn't he. How's Bob holding up, he's always smiling in his pictures. Never any pictures of you, guess I know who's taking the pics. Uh. Everything is so beautiful there in China. Be safe and enjoy. Can't wait to see the "New" family pics.

Love you.. Kelly L.
