Nature can inspire us in so many ways – the colors, patterns and variations offer endless inspiration. I really enjoy working with nature from the dried leaves, fibers and using the surface to create on. I also use the fibers from plants like the banana and cotton to incorporate weaving into my creations. These are harvested from my garden.
What you can try
- Take a walk or look out of your window. Find one natural element that speaks to you.
- Maybe it’s the veins of a leaf, the curve of a petal, the color of the sky. Let that image become the inspiration for your page.
- Use actual plant materials if you like – check out my leaf art posts – you can see the range of inspiration in my blog archive. You can print with leaves, paint with twigs or leaf prints, twigs, or use dried petals. You could also work with nature using the leaves as your surface, see the variety below.
This is about slowing down and taking notice
of your surroundings.
Takeaway Nuggets:
- Nature offers boundless inspiration and
reflection.
- Spend some time daily in nature
