Description This is a fortune that I got in a cookie. The second I looked at it, I had a great idea.

These are my mom's hands, notice the aged fingers and long nails. At first, I wasn't too sure about what I wanted to do with this- I was thinking about leaving her nails red and desaturating the rest, but then I thought that it would be a better idea if I focused more on the words, "I love you."

I did this all using photoshop, of course.
Levels. Border. Color selection. Sharpening.

I would've liked if this photo wasn't as grainy, but my camera is horrific with indoor lighting.

Hopefully this will all change when I purchase a new camera.

Cool idea, sweet thought behind it. The noise in the photo doesn't really detract from it, don't fuss too much. lol

Fantastic. That's all there is to it. Isn't it nice when little things like a fortune cookie can hold something so universal?
