100 Days of Leaf Art - Week 14 - Completing the Project!


Week 14: Completing the 100-Day Project & What’s Next?

Made it to the end!!

Reaching the end of this journey has reinforced my belief in daily creativity, persistence, and the magic of working with nature.  As I pushed through, I did some branch weaving and made some jewelry from the leaves.


But this isn’t the end—just a stepping stone. Now, I’m thinking of ways to take what I’ve learned and apply it to future projects.


Creative Tip: Start planning your next creative endeavor! Could you turn this into a larger series? A collection of framed works? A book? Reflect on how this your project has shaped your artistic direction.


Weaving with the branches

Encouragement: The end is just the beginning. Keep creating, keep exploring, and keep sharing your uniquely creative gifts with the world.

Who are you Creating For - Arts and Wellness Cafe

 



Come and join us in the Arts and Wellness Cafe, where I share insights about the power and purpose of creativity, and knowing who we are creating for - without our own needs getting lost in the mix.  

Creativity is not only just a creative pastime but also a vital tool for personal expression, healing, and inspiration. 

We have to remember that creativity is not a solitary act, but a shared journey that can uplift, inspire and create connection. 


I would love to have your perspective, join us in the discussion.


International Soul Art Day 2025

 


Laura Hollick was our Host and I was one of the guest artists for International Soul Art Day and if you missed the event you can still see the recording for the session with us connecting and creating live as a group and with an international audience around the world also joining in.

Here is the painting that I completed on the day, I used the sea grape leaves to get texture on the paper and then collaged the paper onto the surface.  The ladies emerged and held space.  It was interesting creating live with the other artists.
