12 Animal Years of Chinese Zodiac

fiber paper This artwork was giclee printed on very special handmade "grass-leather paper". It has fibers and husks purposely pressed into the finished paper. The paper is quite expensive compared to typical Asian art papers, but the results are worth it.

This is a print of all 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac along with their corresponding Chinese character. The inside ring has the 5 elements along with their Chinese characters as well. These are arranged in chronological order going counter-clockwise.

This zodiac motif is printed on handmade/hand-pressed Chinese xuan paper with a high-fiber content (you will see lots of natural husks and fibers pressed into this paper). The artwork was then mounted to a handmade two-tone silk brocade wall scroll.

The result is a beautiful and elegant presentation of all the animals, elements, and characters of the Chinese zodiac system.

The print was created on a fine art Giclee printer. The fine lines and complex geometry would make it impractical to paint this artwork by hand. The image above does not do justice to the quality of the fine lines and detail of this print.

This is a larger version with Traditional Chinese characters on amazing handmade paper. That's why this scroll costs a bit more than some of the other Chinese zodiac print scrolls on my website.
