I wanted to illustrate a quiet but luminous pond scene filled with all sorts of elements I’ve always considered lucky to bring some good vibes to all those who stumble upon it in my little dream garden tucked away in my imagination.

~ The dragonfly: One of my personal lucky charms. Dragonflies have always made me feel peaceful and that I am watched over. I’ve always found them going hiking, loved how different they are, and I once read to make a wish when you see them and it’ll come true. In some cultures, they represent good luck and prosperity, so this makes sense!

~Jasmine flower: A flower related to love, positive feelings, appreciation, luck, and romance. They also smell AMAZING, and I always have some going in my diffuser as I work.

~ Violet flower: Keeps evil spirits away, symbolizes innocence, abundance, and true love, and helps with healing on many levels. They also taste wonderful in tea.

~ Frogs: Seen as lucky symbols of transformation fertility, and the awakening of one's creativity.

~ Lotus flower: Known in feng shui and many religions, the lotus flower is known to carry positive calming energy that can bring about auspicious luck in academics, social status, and fortune.

~ Willow leaves: In Celtic folklore, willow leaves are worn as charms to protect against jealousy, and the wood inside and outside the house is said to protect against evil (will be making the borders out of willow leaves and wood).

~ The evil eye 🧿: protection against evil in many folklores.
