Fortune Picks

Personal Work

Inspired by Kau Cim, a Chinese fortune telling method in temples, it hit me that the way we shake out a toothpick is similar to the Kau Cim practice and found the connection/pun of Ya “Qian” (牙签: toothpick) and Qiu ”Qian” (求签: fortune stick) in the Chinese characters amusing.

A fun kit that allows you to pick your fortune before you pick your teeth!

Kit comes with an instruction manual and 4 fortune cans:

Friendship, Love, Career or Health. Every can contains 60 toothpicks with 5 different colors that represents different level of luck.

​

Silently, think of the question you would like to ask and gently shake out a pick.

Every toothpick indicates a color code and number. Red for excellent, Yellow for great, White for average, Blue for bad, Black for poor. Check your fortune message against the scroll!
