The original idea today was to talk about my efforts on Etsy and my thoughts on starting out + forming a cohesive line.
Art and originality are synonymous for many people.
Even without reviewing Dutch vanitas, impressionist paintings, or the works of Georgia O’Keefe it isn’t much of a surprise: Nature (in my opinion), is the original muse!
For a time I was a bit of a closet horticultural nerd. After all, who isn't inspired by nature? Where’s the originality in that?

Still, I can't help it. I love, love, love plants! I adore the studied illustrations from the 18th + 19th centuries. I marvel at all manner textiles from the grandiose woven tapestries in the Musee du Louvre to the mod prints at Marimekko -- and objects d'arte or even the simple vintage tea cup; so many of these infused with the beauty of nature!
Anything can motivate.
I happen to turn to botanicals.

Here’s what I’ve done with my inspiration on a small scale.
You can find something to motivate you too.
And don’t over think it like I do, just enjoy it!
