Life with Andrea

 I've been taking art classes.  For my birthday, Soren gave me a "craft kit"  - we bought the clay flowerpots and saucers to build a birdbath.  I assembled it and painted it, based on the "willow ware" china pattern. 
This first picture is the house where the mandarin & his daughter lived.
He had a male secretary, who of course fell in love with the daughter.  Mandarin got mad.

In the second picture, daughter and secretary are running away across the bridge.  Mandarin is chasing them.

In the 3rd picture is the house secretary & girl live in.  Secretary is successful poet - but Mandarin finds him and has the house burned.
You may see the birds.  The gods had pity on the girl and the secretary, and turned them into doves.
