Art journal - Superstitious?

Efemera at UKStampers challenged us to journal about our superstitions and use a charm on the page. My first reaction was I'm not... but then I remembered umbrellas and how I have a thing about not opening them inside.

I do knock on wood occasionally and cross my fingers. Why I really don't know. I did wear green to my wedding with Lens Guy and 17 years later we still together. I do avoid walking under ladders but that is surely common sense?

My charm was created from old pieces of broken jewellery and a heart button. I thought it looked suitably talismanic and could ward off evil? 

I used TH mini umbrella man and the umbrella parts from Dylusions Ruby Rainbow. I even created a mask for the umbrella top which was much easier than I thought it would be. I then used the mask to cover the umbrella stamp when adding another layer of ink. The original background was created using mask pieces from the TH set.
