2025 is the Year of the Blue Snake according to the Chinese zodiac. The snake symbolizes
new beginning, growth, wisdom, and change. It promises a year full of passion, creativity, and
vibrant energy. In this spirit, I have embroidered the symbolism of the snake and spring flowers
on this small pouch.
