I don’t think I included this video, showing the operation of my friend Amelia’s fortune telling machine, in my Shadow Art Fair live blog. It was one of my favorite things at this summer’s SAF.

sooo cute.
I think your fortune should have read, “you need art classes.” Otherwise, this is great.
Did anyone get a book? If so, what was it about?
ya. the whole machine (fortune/books and cupcakes together) and amelia were my favorite part of the SAF. my book from amelia/the machine was about peace and how peace is a feeling inside you–a calmness. and just so you all know amelia personed her machine all day till something like 9:00 pm and she wore her super groovy, foil hat the whole time and sweated bullets, but persevered.
it makes me happy to know that young, creative people like amelia are growing up here in ypsi. a fortune for us all–the future is looking good.
You owe Amelia a dollar.
I gave the dollar back. Watch the video again.
I love this :) Erica and I did this booth later on in the night – Amelia wasn’t there anymore, but – Erica got a fortune from Ruth, and I got a cupcake from Sara.
I saw your “doublecorn” tag and remember that she told me that her headpiece represented the horn of not a unicorn, as I had suggested, but a doublecorn. Cool kid.
a cupcake blog found it.
