I was going to create a tile with totally random tangles. The first one I got was Icanthis. And that’s what started this tile.
I also was thinking about Gratitude and a text came from the school about… Gratitude!
So, this tile is all about gratitude for the abundance we have and giving thanks.
Right now, there is a beautiful butternut squash sitting on my sideboard. I am planning on roasting it in the oven tomorrow evening, and adding it to a pot of fantastic Southwest chili for the weekend.
This made me think of using Gourdgeous to represent the squash, abundance of food. I placed the Icanthis leaf behind the gourd shapes. I could be the leaf from the gourd plant, but it also represents the abundance of life that surrounds us. And finally I added the Damsel Leaf because it is so happy looking to me. So we have an abundance of happiness in our lives.
I am grateful for all of these things this Thanksgiving season.
I hope your Thanksgiving also contains an abundance of all these things!
