I created this handmade book for my friend’s Birthday recently. Happy Birthday Iris for today🥳 . . It has travelled far across land and sea to France to celebrate this special day. . . It’s a special collaborative present created by @thewalkingsketchbook with nature. Into the woodland I went to create with nature’s marks and collected nature’s treasures #pockethitchhikers along the way. I stitched them all into this A5 size book inspiration journal with pages inside to create. Somewhere to collect all your ideas. . . The acorn buttons are from a Red Oak tree. The wax thread 🧵 holds it all together. I love this maroon colour thread with the olive green @herbininks . . @alicefoxartist inspired me to stitch wee books. Who inspires you? . . #thewalkingsketchbook #handmadebooks #handmadejournals #naturesart #bookbinding

For #momentsketchers this weekend, I’ve been out in the garden creating a Storyboard Walk. . . Inspired by @shelleyrhodesartist book which I’ve been reading, I cut a 65cm strip of paper. Folded it in half and then rolled it up to take outside. Clipped to my jacket, the aim was to walk and record what I see and hear along my walk, collecting nature treasures along the way. I walked and sketched, stopped and listened to sounds, and sketched the detail of ferns close up. It’s fun to do and you can chose what to include along your walk. Once my sketch was complete I stitched some of my nature treasures onto my storyboard walk. I hope you have fun creating outside this weekend. . . #thewalkingsketchbook #momentsketchers #storyboardwalks #walkingartists #natureconnection #sketch

Today we have planted trees for the #bigclimatefightback and #nationaltreeweek Thomas (aged 5) planted an oak tree and we planted a field maple. Both in hedgerows on the farm, lots more to plant in time. . . After planting a tree, you have to draw it of course with @thewalkingsketchbook and spend time with it. We were very excited to see a robin become the trees first visitor. . . Whilst we planted the field maple. Thomas climbed the hazel hedge of course. He kept us entertained. ☺️🌿 . . Hope you’ve spent some time outdoors today. . . #woodlandtrust #thetreecouncil @woodlandtrust #makeadifference #thewalkingsketchbook #plantingatree #ralphscider @ralphscider

My #storyboardwalks themed on #trees for #nationaltreeweek . . I finished my walking sketch off last night, stitching nature treasures I collected along my way. Love it! . *** sound on to hear the birds and wind*** . I’m off to plant a tree now. Doing my bit to #makeadifference . . Have a fabulous day. Let me know how you create and connect with nature today. . . #thewalkingsketchbook #nationaltreeweek2019 #nationaltreeweek #storyboardwalks #walkingartist #walkingart #connectingwithnature #trees🌳 #sketchingtime #sketchbookfriday

Out into the sunshine and to the park for my sketchbook Friday. Today with @rebeccareynolds935 we were celebrating National Tree Week and planning to paint with a tree. However, the weather had different plans. No wind, such a still day, therefore no tree painting. So a change of plan. . . Inspired by @shelleyrhodesartist book which I’ve been reading, I cut a metre strip of paper. Folded it in half and then rolled it up to take it outside. Clipped to my jacket, the aim was to walk and record the trees along my walk, collecting nature treasures along the way. @rebeccareynolds935 also joined in. . . It’s such a fun way to record your walk, through mark-making, words, and sketching what you hear and see. The birds were calling above me as I captured what I could see. I met an ancient Ash tree, Plane tree, Corsican Pine and a Great Oak along the way. All with stories to tell. I love capturing my walk in this way and it didn’t finish there. Back inside, we stitched our nature finds to our story walks. I will film it tomorrow to share with you, so pop by to see how it turned out. (You can scroll through the images above to experience our day). . . I would love to hear what adventures you have planned this weekend. . . #nationaltreeweek #thewalkingsketchbook #sketchbookfriday #storyboardwalks #trees #walkingartist #connectingwithnature #natureconnection

Tomorrow it’s my favourite day of the week. My Sketchbook Friday. I’m off on a creative tree adventure with @rebeccareynolds935 so watch this space and check in tomorrow to see what we get up to. . . In the U.K. we have our National Tree Week, where we celebrate the beauty of the trees around us. They are so important to me and are the core to my work. See which trees join in with our creative play. . . I hope you have some scheduled creative time this weekend or venture out to walk in nature to see a favourite tree. If you do, share with me. 🍁👇 . . #nationaltreeweek #sketchbookfriday #sketching #creativetime #trees #adventure #treedrawing

I’ve been out and about amongst the murky weather, to meet trees who would like to paint for #nationaltreeweek 🍁 . . Into the park I went where an Ancient Ash tree spoke, “paint with me this week”. . , I pondered on how these branches could leave their mark. I helped it play with some inks to test out the fun we would have painting with the wind... when the time was nearer... . . This hollowed-out Ash tree stands alone in the field, hosting homes for wildlife of all shapes and sizes. . . A pine tree by the fence also heard of the chance to sketch with inks... . . So you will have to stop by later in the week to see which tree sketches for #nationaltreeweek . . . When I wandered back inside, I stitched a leaf to my sketchbook and took the stitches meandering across the page.... . @thewalkingsketchbook #nationaltreeweek #thewalkingsketchbook #paintingwithatree #ancientashtree #nature #sketchbookartist #walkingartist #ashtree

This weekend, do you have plans to venture outside to sketch or write in nature? I would love to hear what you have planned. ✍️ . I will be discovering trees to collaborate on a new tree painting, with inks and the wind. I also hear the salmon are jumping, making their way up the rivers. So hoping to catch a glimpse of them on their epic journey. . @thewalkingsketchbook #thewalkingsketchbook #natureconnection #connectingwithnature #naturewalk #walkingartist
