My Red oak leaf stitching from last night merged into this creation. A story of an acorn’s dream about turning into a tree. The leaf appears loose and free, underneath the transparent sheet, to create a dreamy feel to this piece. I’ve enjoyed playing so much with mixed media and nature. Watch this space for more. . . Outside on my wander today, I heard the green woodpecker call overhead. A robin bounced around on the path in front of me whilst I sketched and walked. The Autumn colours were glorious. . . #thewalkingsketchbook #naturecreation #leafstitching #natureartist #walkingartist #connectwithnature #acorn #nature

For my Sketchbook Friday this week. With the lost words songs inspiring us in the background and leaves blown past the window, @rebeccareynolds935 had come over for some creative play. Cyanotype creations from the summer, evolved into little wee books... space for words and sketches in nature. . . I love the contrast of the yellow stitching with the blue cyanotype. The eucalyptus seed spoke to me from my box of nature treasures and then the furry bud capsule from the magnolia, so they made it into buttons. . . I’ve just loved every moment making this and sharing the journey with Rebecca too. What fun to make your creations into something lasting! . . Looking forward to seeing what creative adventure you go on this weekend. Share with me, I would love to see. . . #thewalkingsketchbook #sketchbookfriday #handmadebooks #connectingwithnature #bookstitching #connectwithnature #weaving

The sun was shining and off I went for my creative adventure outside. I took an A3 piece of sketch paper, folded into a little concertina book in preparation. Inspired by @bonniejanemc who was making a maze book today. . . On my wander out into the garden I saw the wind blow a beech leaf up in the sky, sowing a seed to create a story book about a little leaf. . . Out with my walnut ink, with the stalk of a grass, I made a trailing line across the page and then printed with a beech leaf. . . Once the ink had dried, out with my #windsorandnewtonwaterto add some colour. . . Whilst I waited for inks and paint to dry, I sat in nature and words flowed free: 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿 Hey, little leaf, flying so high, blown by the wind as you passed me by. Over the tree tops you went, past the birds whilst they chattered.... as they warmed their feathers in the bright sunshine. What a fabulous autumn journey you are on, said the bees, sleepily. The sparkling sun on the water was extra special for your day, as you fly from the tree tops in a flutter.. Past the spinning Jenny’s, having some much fun, Filling you with joy, On your autumn way.... 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿 . . Inside, I added the words and cut my page to making it into a concertina book. Thank you to @heathercrook24 for inspiring the spinning Jenny words which made it into my wee book. . . #thewalkingsketchbook #sketchbookfriday #concertinabook #creatinginnature #connectingwithnature #natureprinting #printingwithnature #inkyadventures #walnutink #tomnortonwalnutink #connectwithnature
