Donita Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 Hi Scented....I am so lucky to have Kate Chu as the moderator of my pressed flower group and she told me this morning that my symbols are good and so is my name. I was worried that I might get it wrong..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Yes that is a good fortune for you! My dad is entranced by the Chinese. If I were doing any of this I would have to go through him and get a history lesson too Not that history is a bad thing, just my dad can talk for hours on end about it.

Alohagirl Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 she told me this morning that my symbols are good and so is my name. I was worried that I might get it wrong.....LOL Yes, you never know how something will translate. Your Asian customers might have been snickering behind your back because your new labels actually said something like "Smelly Garbage"!

BruceCarvesWax Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 A crafter at the mall shows we do has a wife that is from Japan and he can write it also. They put your name on a piece of paper for $1.00 at the shows. (they sell jewelry also)They visit Japan all the time, I asked him if he writes English names for $1.00 over there. LOL I also wanted to put it on my labels, probably my incense labels.Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
