Here is what I did----

Google--"Chinese symbol for love" , then click on the "image" option. I clicked on the second image that showed up on the page, 300 x 300 pixels.
When that comes up on the screen, click on the image at the top and it will enlarge the image.
Then, right click on the enlarged image and click "print picture". It worked for me.

Let me know if this doesn't make sense.

I found the following site for printing out many of the 3,500 Chinese characters OR right click whichever characters you want then click ''save as'' or ''save target''.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Oh that is way cool! I took my first character writing class last Friday. It is not as easy as it looks. But, I was impressed with myself after they dried. LOL.

We did the symbols on a small paper template and inserted them into Starbucks spillproof cups. I made several for gifts.

Thanks for sharing this link. thumbs_up.gif

The cake is great. I love the way you did the characters. Did you do them in color flow or royal icing? Just in case I would like to let you inspire me.

Great job again.

Thanks TrisCorey~ I did them in royal icing. I piped the RI on waffer paper because they are too delicate & I knew they would break. I brushed them with piping gel to give them the shine~
