By using different colour bold lines to compose different shape, Marshall seeks to enlarging the quillwork design and bring it greater attention. In addition, the small white symbols that drew around the yellow dots circle give us the idea of cultural heritage. The traditional symbol is continue to have meaning in a contemporary time of…

Earthenware and fashionable things of clay are being rapidly supplanted by aluminum, plastic, steel and other alternative materials. Even toys for children are being made with wood and cloth. Besides, so cold prestigious people never tend to buy earthenware thinking their image and status.
