Happy Chinese New Year dear art friends!
It's the Chinese New Year this Sunday, February 10th. We will be entering into the year of the snake. Want to know how it may influence you? Check out these predictions according to your sign.
Bruno, the lucky cat, wishes you all: Gong Hay Fat Choy!
...
In celebration of Chinese New Year, I've been treating myself to one fortune cookie each day this week. (Weight Watchers peeps - they're only 1 point each.) Did you know that you need to eat the entire cookie before you read the fortune? Well, you do if you want it to come true. : )
...
I must admit, I have quite a collection of fortunes that I've collected over the years. I keep this one on my art desk under a glass bell jar.
...
I love adding fortunes to my artwork. This morning, I started this quick collage in my art journal and included the fortune that I got in my cookie from yesterday.
...
Are you wanting to play and get creative with fortunes now? Well, you can purchase some cookies or you can download this awesome digi freebie that I've made for you. It includes my favorite fortunes from my personal collection.
Note: this special sheet is for personal use only. Not for resale.
Hope you have a wonderful week! See you next week with more fun and creativity! : )
How cute of Bruno to look like the Chinese lucky cat! And a Gong Hay Fat Cho to you all up in Canada!
I too love the fortunes in the cookies, but never knew that you had to eat the cookie first before reading the fortune. Maybe that is why nothing happenes with my fortunes? I try to use them occasionally in my art work and will be downloading the ones from the freebie in just a bit.

Did you know that fortune cookies are not from China? China didn't have fortune cookies until the 1990's.
Bruno does a very respectable Gong Hay Fat Cho.
