사극 Paradise

I know, I've been running horribly behind schedule with this blog! I pack my day very full, spending most of it making dolls or 한복, taking online classes on how to sell, market, network; watching a 사극, Xianxia, or Wuxia, and then ending the day with some reading that is relevant to Korean, Chinese, or Mongolian Culture. As a result, sometimes things fall through the cracks! "Chinese sources tell..

"No history of Yuan can fail to mention the mother of Khubilai Khan, Sorghaghtani, though the History of the Yuan does not have much to say about her. Other sources-Italian, Persian, and Hebrew-praise her highly, a Persian historian saying she 'towered above all women of the world.' She was the niece of an enemy of Chinggis (Khan), who took her as war booty and married her to his son Tolui.When ..

She wears a lovely 100% cotton fuschia base dress, ..

I've only seen 하지원 in two other dramas: 기황후 and 황진이. I felt that 황진이 wasn't as well written as it could have been (I felt the story went sideways, when the real history was compelling enough that it didn't need to do that).

"The Mongols ran a huge administrative system that they governed by enlisting the help of many other groups including Khitan, Jurchen, Chinese, Uyghur, Korean, and Persian among others. They operated in multiple languages and adopted an alphabet of their own...But the Yuan was relatively short lived, only lasting until 1368...Succession was often violent and irregular...Women played major roles ..

My beautiful and regal 고려 Dynasty inspired fashion 한복 doll is listed and ready to grace a new palace. She is wearing a beautiful purple (fully lined) satin jacket, with a pink poly cotton dress underneath. She has a pink poly cotton belt with a purple cotton floral adornment. Because she is a rag doll, she will require either a doll stand, or a very firm surface to prop her up against. You can f..

I had to take a brief break from obtaining more "Love Between Fairy and Devil" fan art for my fan art merch series due to some budgetary constraints! I am happy to say that I am back to working on Part III, and once this part is done, I plan to have fan art photo cards, posters, greeting cards, bookmarks, and a coloring book. I have three more images left to complete, and after that, this fan ar..
