Thanksgiving text sculpted from corn

Tags
Cinematic 3D scene where the words "Happy Thanksgiving" are woven from pale golden corn husks and glossy maize kernels, each letter built as a sturdy, slightly rounded block where layered strips of dried husk curl and overlap, while lines of individual kernels trace edges and inner curves like tiny jewels of amber and ochre. The phrase sits in the central lower third on a smooth matte platform in warm beige, while the background rises into a tranquil gradient from soft cream at the top to muted sage and deep teal near the horizon, leaving generous negative space above and to the sides for future layout. A few carefully arranged elements rest at the base of the text: a small ear of corn partially husked to expose its kernels, a loose loop of dried husk curling toward the foreground, and a scattering of three or four kernels placed in a tight cluster rather than scattered widely, keeping the composition minimal and controlled. Light drifts in from the upper left with a warm, harvest-sun quality, catching the translucent skins of the kernels so they glow from within, while a cooler, slate-tinged fill from the right brushes faint reflections along the husk fibers and adds subtle depth to the shadows behind the letters; soft-edged cast shadows ground everything without harshness. Near the front of a central letter, one kernel catches a precise, intense golden point of light that flares gently, immediately drawing the eye into the heart of the phrase and acting as the scene’s signature spark. The front faces of the letters and the nearest husk textures are rendered crisp and tactile, with fine fibers and ridges clearly visible, while the background gradient and the distant corn ear soften into a gentle blur. Hidden where overlapping husk strips cross in shadow near the base, a minuscule turkey silhouette emerges from the negative shape of the fibers, so subtle it reads as a coincidental pattern until closely inspected. No other readable text appears anywhere in the scene.
