Crafty Traveller [Part 2: "Danchung"]

My favorite International Airport to date is in Seoul, South Korea - Incheon International Airport.  I like how they feature and promote their culture to travellers.  It takes 14 hours from Chicago to Incheon and it is relaxing to be able to visit their Duty Free stores and join their free activities while waiting for my connecting flight.

In 2011, the project that I made was a Korean Doll that we covered with hanji paper.

This time, we made a "Danchung" inspired project.  Danchung is often referred to as "decorated shapes of stone-powder paints on buildings of the past and has been usually used to deify palaces and temples."

Time flies fast when you're having fun.

Happy crafting!

Have I told you that I love to travel?  Long airplane flights may be boring and tiring but somehow I manage to entertain myself by watching movies and playing games.

For the past 2 years, I had been flying to and from the US with a 4 to 6 hours stopover at Korea's Incheon international airport.  Thankfully, Incheon airport offers a lot to see and do.

I have tried wearing the traditional Korean costume - the hanbok, make their headband - baessi, dye stamp using a convex roof tile with lotus design, wall decor and cellphone accessory using the traditional Korean paper called Hanji which is derived from mulberry trees.

During my recent trip, I was able to decorate a cute doll using Hanji paper.

Aren't they adorable?  They make me smile.

I am looking forward to my next trip through Incheon.

Happy crafting!
