Zhao's most recent work is an Olympic mascot set, the five mascots are doing sports featured at the Games. This set is Zhao's favorite. And she wants to donate them to the Beijing Organizing Committee for Olympic Games.
"Everyone is interested in the Olympics. I want to do something too. Then I thought about blending my talent and my good wishes into these egg shell pieces. I drew a set of mascots, and a set of the mascots doing the 38 sports featured in the Olympics. I like this set very much. I'd like to donate them to the Beijing Organizing Committee for Olympic Games. I hope they can represent the good wishes of Beijingers and other Chinese for the event." Said Zhao Wei.
As well as egg shell creations, Zhao has made a lot of other works of art, including hemp slippers, bags and vases. From all her works, you can see the creator's dexterity in her mind and hand, and a warm heart that loves life.
