100 Days of Leaf Art - Week 6

 

Week 6: The Beauty of Layering and Depth

Layering different elements brings richness to leaf art. By adding a variety of resources, stitches, and fabric, enables you create depth and complexity in each piece.

Working in layers is a key element of my process. Sometimes I collage multiple leaves together, blending together textures and colors.

Creative Tip: Mix techniques—try stitching over burned or painted designs or layering multiple leaves together. Don’t be afraid to add new elements if a piece feels unfinished - such as fabric.

Encouragement: Creating in layers - keep adding, experimenting, and discovering. Every piece has the potential to evolve into something even more beautiful.

100 Days of Leaf Art - Week 5

 

Welcome to Week 5 of 100 Days of Leaf Arts

Overcoming Midway Challenges

By now, challenges creep in—lack of time, self-doubt, posting late or fatigue. This is the moment to push forward and to give yourself some grace. I remind myself why I started and focus on the joy of creating. 

This phase of the project requires a mental shift. I acknowledge my struggles, but I don’t let them stop me. Instead, I embrace what is happening in the moment, be it imperfections, lack of drive or needing to self-nurture and get back on track.  

I allow my art to reflect my persistence. I am doing the challenge for myself and each and every step I take will revitalize and renew my strength and you learn something new about your resilience along the way.

Creative Tip: On busy days, create something simple. Keep the habit alive, even if it's a five-minute session.  If you are posting and you need to post the next day, then don't stress about it, the process is for you, others will understand.

Encouragement: Progress over perfection. Keep going! Your dedication will pay off, and by the end of the 100 days, you'll be amazed at how much you've grown.
