30 Days to Creativity

Day Twenty-one

One of the things I’m looking forward to is bringing more plants into my office. While I can’t do that right this minute, I can at least make art about it.

It is a small way I can bring nature inside that will also remind me to go outside more.

I was fortunate enough to see Cindy Crosby interview Robin Wall Kimmerer today on a webinar. They spoke about how we can begin to see plants as our relatives—as people. If you haven’t read Braiding Sweetgrass or Chasing Dragonflies yet, I highly recommend them.

I’m feeling inspired to draw some wildflowers for my greeting card series. Maybe even instead of some I had planned. I need to re-draw my first design to fit the kind of tree-free cardstock I plan to use. So if I have to re-draw it anyway, I could easily choose a wildflower instead.
