Floral Designs

So I found a bracelet with half of a protea design on it. I kind of bogarted the design or the parts that I could see and made up the parts that were missing. I think that this complete protea floral motif turned out pretty well. Here it is:



We're going to incorporate this design on the cake and maybe some other things...Not sure what we're going to do yet, but at least we have something to work with. I also want to incorporate the Maile leaf since it is on my ring and it symbolizes so much as well as add a touch of Asian/Filipino with some Bamboo since we have the tinikling...I guess there's a variety of things we can do. I came across this information on the internet:

* Three (3) stalks of Lucky Bamboo:
Bring Fu (Happiness), Lu (Wealth) and Soh (Longevity).

Towers - Better, Promotions, More of the Good Things of Life, Climbing

* Five (5) stalks of Lucky Bamboo:
Represent the 5 different parts of life from which wealth spurs from.

* Six (6) stalks of Lucky Bamboo:
Also sounds like "Luck" in Chinese, bringing prosperity and favorable conditions.

* Seven (7) stalks of Lucky Bamboo:
Good health.

* Eight (8) stalks of Lucky Bamboo:
In the Chinese spoken language sounds like "Fah" which means to grow, thrive.

* Ten (10) stalks of Lucky Bamboo:
Complete and perfect.

* Twenty-one (21) stalks of Lucky Bamboo:
To offer very powerful all purpose blessing.

* Lucky Log
The lucky log keeps sprouting new leaves, which means "strong life". In Taiwan,this is the popular gift item between businesses. The giver of this gift wishes the receipient a strong life with a prosperous business that never stops growing.

On top all of that I have to make parts of it shine or twinkle for it wouldn't be Hollywood without some sort of bling. Maybe add some silvery embellishments or some fake crystals...
