Inspired by a Mexican embroidery cloth my mother did in 1972 when we lived in Loreto, B.C. Sur. The one she did said something like En este cesta, le doy mi amor (In this basket I give you my love). The thumbs up sign is from a container of Chinese pepper that was given to me by Bianca S. Click on image to enlarge.
I'm so glad you found a use for the thumbs up! It was so tiny on that pepper tin.

really WONDERFUL! piece...and very special taking inspiration from your mothers work.
so the thumb's up is paper? I love when I spy pieces of tin that I have too...the blue and yellow little flowers, I made some spring 'flowers' for the studio sale this weekend.
