Spring·Form
Designing the Companion
From sketch to shape.
A companion slowly
finds its character.
A gift,
carrying a little piece of luck for you.
「雞蛋花花」從中國傳統文化中尋找靈感，將古老的故事與吉祥寓意畫成紋樣，
再經由絲網印花與手工縫製，成為一年一作的生肖版畫布偶。
Jidanwawa draws inspiration from Chinese traditions, turning old stories and auspicious symbols into original patterns.
Screen-printed on fabric and sewn by hand,
each year’s zodiac takes shape as a new art doll.
Behind Jidanwawa
Over twelve years, I created a collection of twelve handmade zodiac companions inspired by Chinese traditions, folk art, and everyday stories.
Each companion begins as an original design and
is brought to life through screen printing and handmaking.
How a Zodiac Companion Comes to Life
Each companion begins as an original design, then slowly enters a year-long journey
toward becoming a gift in your hands.
Summer·Pattern
Creating the Story
Patterns are designed

Autumn·Making
Bringing It to Life
Fabric is cut, sewn,
and assembled by hand.
Slowly, it becomes
a complete companion.
Winter·Arrival
Ready for the New Year
Carefully packed
for its journey.
Ready for
the new year ahead.
