Do you remember my old posting about Rubens?

The Getty museum finally posted the schedule of these cool events.

Now I am dreaming of going down to LA every weekend!

Here's the link of the detailed program information.

Last Sunday, I went to Oakland museum to participate their annual Lunar New Year's day celebration.

Many Asian countries celebrate the Lunar New Year and Korea is one of the country that celebrates this.

I don't like to call it as Chinese New Year.... The date is determined based on Lunar calendar and I am not the only one who doesn't like the term, Chinese New Year. The other day I was talking to my friend who immigrated from Vietnam. She and her family celebrate the Lunar New Year's day and she calls it 'Vietnamese New Year!'  So I am very glad that the Oakland museum calls it, Lunar New Year's day celebration! Anyway, many people came to the museum to celebrate it. My table was waiting for me at my usual corner in the 

Checking in, set up my tables with bojagi and exchange greetings with fellow demonstrators. Now I am ready to meet people!

 I had another great Lunar New Year celebration meeting many many people there and wish you all another happy new year!

Now I have enough collections of badukmuni bojagi pictures! I am so proud of my students. Same designs but everybody was able to pull out their own taste of colors. Soon I will be happy to add more pictures from Karen and Subin!   

학생들의 작품을 자랑할 시간입니다! 같은 디자인을 가지고 이렇게 개성이 넘치는 작품을 만들어내는 학생들이 그저 자랑스럽기만하네요. 머지않아 말레이지아의 Karen과 일리노이의 수빈의 작품도 자랑하게 될 거예요!
