Mighty Warriors

Mighty Warriors
In 1985 I packed up my household in Japan to return to the US but first I decided on a trip to China.  When I visited the terracotta warriors in Xian I was totally enthralled.  One has to experience the excavated site to really grasp how extensive it really is.  This is my third postcard in the series I created last week. All the postcards are united with the same background.

Magically wonderful John! I love it and my eyes keep traveling around the perfectly placed design elements. Masterful, I'd say. ♥

fabulous! I have always wanted to see the terracotta warriors...years ago in Seattle there was a partial exhibit and it was so intriguing...seeing it in person must have been phenomenal...
