One of the QuanYin altars at the Wise Womens Festival. In the back ground is a silk batik painted in Bali and a wood statue carved in Vietnam. Another wood carving sits on top surronded by orchids and a 20 pound rose quart crystal to ther right.

Another altar at the Spring Festival of Awareness. In the back ground is a hand painted image by Nywyn and in front a marble carving from Vietnam. To the right is a glass painted Quan Yin and to her left is a Glow in the Dark Quan Yin with her dragon.

Two of the tiniest QuanYins in my collection. I bought these two hand-carved statues, one in dark and the other in golden amber, at a trade show in Vernon. She had a booth beside mine and said they were from Lithuania. In the background is the view from my bedroom window at Johnson’s Landing. Plus, a malachite angel and other crystals.

A huge clam shell in Vietnam. The photo was taken by Rita Montgomery

Same 3-foot wood carving from Vietnam but this time, she sits on the grand piano with a silk scarf in front.

A simple altar.

The sister to QuanYin was carved in Yellow Cedar in China, which I bought as a pair.

A lovely postcard.

I purchased this poster at the Yasodhara Ashram. The wood statute is "GuanYin of the Southern Sea" and lives at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in the US.

Carved in marble from Vietnam via Mission Marble. She called, mentioning they had a lady holding a fish that looked similar to the photo on the cover. I have bought various sizes from them.

This 13-meter-tall statue is on the Island of Putuoshan in Zhejiang Province of China, which they claim was her earliest residence. The image was in a magazine given to me by a friend who lived in China.

A friend clicked her camera when she saw light glowing around the malachite angel and QuanYin I gifted her with.
