"I have brought my light to join the carnival of lamps."
~ Rabindranath Tagore

Every year, some good friends of ours host a Diwali celebration. They put an incredible amount of work into bringing people together (over 100 guests this year!). Food is at the heart of the celebration, and not only is she an amazing cook, but many of the dishes are particularly meaningful. Recipes passed down from her mother, the same meals that have probably been bringing families and friends together like this for generations.
I built these sunflowers as a bit of light to add to the festivities. I'll confess that I still get a little self-conscious bringing something I've made as a gift. It feels a little ... presumptuous maybe?
Maybe I'm just carrying some baggage from my years of making festive hats out of recycled AOL disks.
