What comes to mind when you hear someone say 'tiger'? The ferocious-looking animal? Stripes? The infamous sportsman? Your boss? (Just kidding..)
In many asian societies, the tiger is a revered symbol. For example, in Japan the tiger is the emblem of the great aristocratic warriors famously known as the samurai. It represents the virtue of courage. For the Chinese, the tiger is the third animal in the Chinese Zodiac and is regarded as a 'slayer of evil'. Those born under this sign are believed to be strong, noble, aggressive, independent and courageous. However, these traits are deemed to be masculine and 'tiger boys' are welcomed but not 'tiger girls'.
Are tigers also revered in your culture? Do they have similar symbolisms? Do share with us!
Now to crafting.....I came across the cutest tiger buttons and so naturally, they belong on shoes meant for the spunky boy who's ready conquer the world.
Hope you like them!
