Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date. Her theme is 'Luck' as we head towards St. Patrick's Day I am thinking. I decided to do a lucky wishbone charm as an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") on cardstock using a silver Sharpie Water based Marker. I took the first photo above at an angle to show the shine of the silver, so it may not look quite centred. The second photo shows the scanned version.
Since I was a child we always saved the wish bone from a chicken. After making a wish, we would pull it apart to see who would get their wish to come true. The winner would have the larger piece in their hand. So the wish bone charm would be a promise of good luck, it would have to be broken for the wish to come true.

That a very good wishbone. That's a tradition we've done for years too. Especially fun at Thanksgiving with a BIG wishbone.
Nice art work, Christine. You did a great job on it. We always saved the wish bone too.
PS: It is Wednesday, March 11th - 11:37 pm here in Texas. This is just for MY curiosity about time/date stuff.
Fun piece, we used to do that as kids, too, nice memories! Hugs, Valerie
I don't know this tradition... funny!
A lovely little charm is this - came out nice with the silver!

I love this. It is so well drawn. My grandmother and I used to share the wishbone, too. It seems to be a superstition, but it's a lucky charm in my book. Great choice, Christine.
that's a real lucky charm, great drawing!
GOOD LUCK to you, Elke
Fun,love it!
interesting images
Christine,
Wishes and luck go hand-in-hand, don't they? Great take on today's prompt and cool art!
Yes, we saved the wishbone too! great memories ~
Love this Christine
Yeah, my brother and I played that game with the wish bone from a chicken. Happy memories.
Love.
It's always such fun to pull a wishbone …
Great art choice.
All the best Jan
So simple, yet so artsy! What a cute wishbone in the end, Christine. It's a good one. Hope we all get lucky, alright! :)
See ya
Ahhhh ... the Wish Bone. We used to do that with our Thanksgiving Turkey, but somehow that disappeared. I will have to remember to do it with my Granddaughter this year. She will get a kick out of it and maybe even some luck (if she wins). Thank you for reminding me Christine :)
