Looking for objects that symbolize motherhood

Hi everyone,
Ok here’s the deal. As many of you know i have an exhibit coming up ;).... yaaay… does a little happy dance. I spent some time thinking last night and i need 6 pieces for the exhibit. I want to center those peices around 6 area’s of my life that i love or mean the most to me. ie: nature, children, art etc. Most specifically i want to do one piece that works with the idea of motherhood. My mom had such a huge and happy influence on me in our short time together.. and then becoming a mother has again had a great influence on me.. all for the best :) So what i need your help with is…. I’m looking for objects that symbolize the concept of motherhood. i want to stay away from using people… unless it is simply parts of a person or persons.. I’d rather not use faces.. i’d like to get a better feel as to what images or symbols represent motherhood to all my friends. Simply because what represents motherhood to myself may not represent motherhood to others.So lets get alittle game going here ladies and gent’s and lets see what we can come up with.. Would be an interesting picture to combine all the concepts/objects of motherhood into one shot.. Please leave your suggestions here as comments.. thanks looking forward to hearing from everyone. cheers my friends. I will take photos of the idea’s and add them to the journal…. :)

    Hi tuffcookie, how about a beat up old teddy bear with a bandaid maybe sitting by a cup of hot chocolate with marshmellows. Just thinking about the things my mom did for me when I needed her comfort.
