I am adding this to Jennifer Mclean's Thanksgiving themed challenge this week over at The Artist's Playroom. I actually did this last year, but it is perfect and I am busy getting ready for Thanksgiving, and for get-togethers with friends and a returning college grandson!
I used an 18"H statue for my model. I have an Indian woman, and a male and female Pilgrim, too. I put the smaller set on my kitchen window sill and the larger on the fireplace mantel. I have a great big turkey-shaped metal serving tray and sundry gourds and pumpkins around.
My title relates to the fact that both the seeds of the sunflower and pumpkin may be eaten, and have some protein as well as other nutrients. And the pumpkin has many ways of being served and feels"substantial" whether soup, breads or muffins, as squash or pie.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
This is very lovely. Thanksgiving seems to be such a wonderful holiday, we don't have it in Australia, it would be good to give thanks.
