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.
ReplyDeleteNice art work, Christine. You did a great job on it. We always saved the wish bone too.
ReplyDeletePS: It is Wednesday, March 11th - 11:37 pm here in Texas. This is just for MY curiosity about time/date stuff.
DeleteFun piece, we used to do that as kids, too, nice memories! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI don't know this tradition... funny!

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.

So simple, yet so artsy! What a cute wishbone in the end, Christine. It's a good one. Hope we all get lucky, alright! :)
ReplyDeleteSee 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 :)
