Precious Gift has many inspirations. One of which is my effort this year to express gratitude more often—especially when I get frustrated or annoyed. Since I still haven’t eliminated the complaint this is usually how it goes for me, “Ugh, these bugs are driving me crazy,” but then gets followed up with, “Thank you for the bugs which feed the beautiful birds in our yards and the forests.” The variations are endless and sometimes the enormity of all that is would simply lead to, “Thank You,” deep from within–knowing full well that my words cannot express the power of this amazing life force that I call Love.

My hope is that the image of the ferns, which have been on earth far longer than humans, somehow captures the enormity of this creation and how our human presence is both earth shattering and insignificant all at once.

Thank you for supporting a calligraphic artist with this purchase! The ornament includes a silk screen print of my lettering, acid free materials & is made out of at least 70% recycled materials.
