Collaborating with Nature

August and September find me spending more time in the garden, cutting back spent cone flowers and black-eyed susans, breaking up the parched soil before watering, raking leaves, pulling weeds and trying to get a handle on it all before the last hurrah of Sheffield mums is heard. I gave some poke weed plants space to flourish this year, and they needed a little pruning. After that task was completed, I noticed that my gardening hat was stained from the berry juice. A collaborative art project was born.

I picked up a Permapen and added some Pokeroot. Then Pokeleaf, and as I worked around the hatband, I envisioned my garden so that more patterns could be added to represent it.

The co-artist and the collaboration product

I finished the Romantic Rosettes lesson from 7F5RStudio this week.


Then, I finished my journal by tangling the inside covers.


The inside was from the ZTHQ Well-being, Part 1, video


Gardening on the brain

Working with Lindy's Magicals and Zendalas is always a special treat for me. (Like a colorful cookie?)

Wishing you a safe and fun Labor Day!
