Mendee's Maunche
She was so surprised...or that was what I was told.
I did the illumination...based on this Chinese pattern:
I'm pretty happy with how it came out and she loved it so that's all that matters, right?

Hey Gina,
Thank you, your dad and Puppy very much for such a wonderful work. I loved the scroll. And yes! it was such a shock that I almost chocked on my food on the stage!
I'm sure the Mongolian section is great; just don't show it to a Chinese native speaker or he'll choke as well.
I love the illumination!
