If you're curious to try out a more naturalistic approach to planting design, here are some practical hacks to help you get the root ball rolling Since many gardeners are likely working with a current gardens vs. the freedom of a fresh canvas, these ideas can help you test out some smaller projects and experiments over time. In Part One of this post, I talked about the concept of seeing plants differently: in terms of beauty and purpose, and the roles they can play within a biodiverse plant community.

Greetings Everyone- A slight digression from what I had planned to share today... People often ask me how do I figure out how to make my sculptures. It is a question that has many answers... sometimes I have an inspiration that comes from the beauty of a certain location. That is what inspired this piece. I was deeply attracted to the texture of the tree and the rich, lush moss on the sculptured rocks : Then, sometimes it is a material that inspires me to make something expressive like this piece, which is a celebration of the giant mushroom that I found along a trail and the Wild Irises that were growing around the nearby pond: And then sometimes it is the anticipation of a celestial event that inspires me such as the triple conjunction of Jupiter, Venus and the New Moon... all planetary bodies, so the idea of using the round orbs of the Goldenrod stem with galls just naturally arrived as a symbol of the planets in orbit around a central space which is how this design came into play: And sometimes it is the pure technical challenge that interests me... the idea comes and I think... can I actually DO that somehow? In this instance, can I figure out how to wrangle several hundred flower blossoms and keep them all together in a formation? I'll give you a hint: waxed dental floss! So, creative inspiration comes through many avenues for me. But all of these pathways have something in common; they are a dialog of sorts between myself as the artist/human/feminine-receptive part of the equation and all the other elements that have their own "voices" so to speak. I've often said, that I "listen" to what Nature, or the material has to say and go from there... it is a conversation to be sure. Now, the really fascinating part is that science is now beginning to understand that this is not merely a metaphor, but in fact, and actual brain process. If you have 16 minutes or so you may want to watch this very interesting video from one of the TED talks. Dr. Charles Limb is studying the brains of creative people when they are engaged in creative processes, especially improvisation. It turns out that one of the parts of our brains that does get highly involved when improvising is the area that is responsible for processing language, even though words may not actually be vocalized, still, the communication centers are very active when engaging the creative flow. I found this to be quite interesting... perhaps you will too! enjoy! http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/1046

OoooEeee I’m super excited to share this week’s little bit of craftiness with you all. A while back I found an oversized clock at our local thrift store. I originally planned to upcycle it into something that would fit into our boho gypsy decor style but when I took it apart, it struck me that it would make the most amazing little clock fairy garden. All it needed was a porch swing and a little bit of fairy dust ;-)
