Cool Gift

Check out this cool Christmas gift I got from Julie. It's called "Coolligraphy". Personally, I think the name is kind of cheesy but who am I to criticize! The artist has probably made tons of money making these pieces. Colligraphy was developed by Daniel Nie in 1987. He uses the principals of ancient oriental characters to transform and create names into original hieroglyphic designs. You can find a list of symbolism here.

This would be really neat to incorporate into my wedding too - maybe on the program or invitation. I thought this was such a unique gift. Just knowing that there is not another piece of artwork in the world that looks like this is pretty "cool" to me.

Hi, Tiffany. This is the artist Daniel Nie. I am glad that you like my art work. Although it is just a simple hand painted original artwork, but it is one of a kind original by a real Chinese artist (not a cheep print from a machine). The design can be used as a logo for your anniversary pendant. How to order one please visit: http://members.aol.com/buddynie/pendant.html
