[ID: A screenshot of Michael from season 2 of The Good Place. He is a white man with white hair. He’s wearing a light blue button down shirt and a white suit jacket. He’s holding a martini glass and has dark framed sun glasses on his face. It’s night outside and there are Edison bulb string lights in the background. The subtitles have been edited to say, “Fire is a curse and destiny is a prison.”]
Challenge 143: Lucky Charms: The Fortune Waters Scarf Design
For this challenge I wanted to illustrate a square scarf filled with all sorts of elements I’ve always considered lucky in this dream-like pond theme to bring some good vibes to all those who wear it!
~ The dragonfly: One of my personal lucky charms. Dragonflies have always made me feel peaceful and that I am watched over. I’ve always found them going hiking, loved how different they are, and I once read to make a wish when you see them and it’ll come true. In some cultures they represent good luck and prosperity, so this makes sense!
~Jasmine flower: Aflower related to love, positive feelings, appreciation, luck and romance. They also smell AMAZING, and I always have some going in my diffuser as I work.
~ Violet flower: Keeps malevolent spirits away, is a symbol of innocence, abundance, true love, and helps with healing on many levels. (4 has also been my lucky number all throughout sports (my jersey#)…this is why I only drew 4 of these flowers to symbolize my favorite #). They also taste wonderful in tea.
~ Frog: Seen as a lucky symbol of transformation fertility, and the awakening of ones creativity.
~ Lotus flower: Known in feng shui and many religions, the lotus flower is known to carry positive calming energy that can being about auspicious luck in academics, social status, and fortune.
~ Willow leaves: In Celtic folklore willow leaves are worn as charms to protect against jealousy and the wood both inside and outside the house are said to protect against evil (will be making the borders out of willow leaves and wood). I also always really loved willows…I could never explain why.
~ The evil eye : protection against evil in many folklores.
