Woodland Ferns

Down by the creek bed

Green fiddlehead fronds unfurl

Tall and leafy ferns

Art Prescription: How are you all doing?

Today I gathered a few fern leaves to try another technique. This one starts by wetting the page and laying Watercolor down. Then you lay leaves down on top.

I’ll see how this turns out tomorrow.

Spring Fling

He digs, looks both ways

Runs like crazy with the goods

Fresh insects and worms.

Art Prescription: Everywhere you look nature is working hard to bring in a new generation.

On my evening walk I was watching a very busy brown thrasher. He was back and forth between hunting and bringing food to the nest.

I worked on making journals from my leaf printing pages.

Nature Prints

What would it be like

If you could flap your wings, fly

Soar over the earth.

Art Prescription: Watching birds, I always wonder what it would be like to fly. Just lift off a branch and soar.

This morning I used some leaves and plastic wrap to create a pattern.

I also used some acrylic paint to imprint leaves.

Here are my results which will be used to make hand-bound journals.

Pin Cushions

Time unfolds for each

Days spent with abnormal time

A chance for the new.

Art Prescription: I think everyone is going to find some new normals from this pandemic.

The earth is sighing a bit of relief as we put less taxing on her. This is good right?

Slowing down may have many benefits.

I’m enjoying embroidery and have listed my first one on Etsy.

Still Stitching

Hi friends,

How are you? I hope you are finding ways to cope with this odd world we are living in.

I’m walking and bird watching and embroidering these tiny pin cushions.

It makes me happy.
