Money dish - full of gold, gems, spices and coins. The gift of prosperity from Lakshmi.

The coins are made by my beautiful helper Debbi! She cut out coins from cardboard added PVA glue and a good dusting of Turmeric.

Money making didn’t come without the challenge as all of the parts of this design. But we did it!

Many people commented on this element. So happy we did it under pressure of disappearing time.

The tiny lemon coloured flowers on the rim of the dish came by mail from Ukraine. It is a little everlasting flowering plant we used to pick in the fields of buy at the local market.
Sentimental and so beautiful.
I wanted to include something from Ukraine in my design, to have a connection to a beautiful brave country I was born
