A plum motif for Minor Cold. The collection pairs a long pierced metal bookmark with a painted enamel round-fan bookmark, explored as a browser-based design study.
Traditional seasonal signs
- Geese turn north 雁北乡
- Magpies begin to nest 鹊始巢
- Pheasants call 雉始雊
These are traditional poetic observations used in the design, rather than a modern scientific account. The seasonal date is approximately 6 Jan and varies by year.
