How to be Fortunate in 2015…


Chinese people believe that, as the 

Spring Festival is the start of a new year, 

what you do then will affect your 

fortune in the coming year. There 

are taboos for the Spring Festival. 


Some Chinese people believe that they
mustn't do cleaning or wash their hair
in the first three days a that
will sweep/wash away any good luck.
 
Red underwear. You will see
red underwear sold at Chinese supermarkets
and street markets.
Red is believed to ward off misfortune.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
