well they write their names on it and throw it into the river/ocean in hopes of finding a spouse. Man who pick up one of the oranges are (believed) destined to be with that woman. Of course, people now write their phone number, facebook and house address lol. Just how desperate people are.

They write their names on the oranges and throw in hope they'll find a man(as if males are rare species on Earth XD). But in the modern times, they would write their e-mail, phone number and house address. Guess people are desperate nowadays

Huh. It's odd/neat how the traditions continue on, even if they're changed each generation.

I guess there are significant meanings to every customs and traditions that's worth carrying on. It's the same with religion. Something that's worth carrying on will continue on.

is not bad either! very good!

a hint to leave the lights better, you paint them and then create a new layer leaving "screen" after doing this, you will blurring with Gausian Blur.

KakeruOgami In reply to IzaPug [2012-02-09 13:24:54 +0000 UTC]

I had a bit of problem with the lantern texture and the clouds but I manage through experimenting The wonders of experiment~
