Hi, Creative Friends,

The natural world is an interesting place and sometimes we forget, as humans, to pause and see the value in other organic things. That’s why…

This week, let nature inspirewith these fun, creative ideas.

  1. Go Outside And See The Story In Nature: Trees are all around us. If you are a bit like me, thinking about the story of trees seems a little bit peculiar. However, this where the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “Overstory” by Richard Powers becomes powerful. It’s an excellent read and fascinating in its perspective about humans as they relate to the natural world.

  2. Bake & Eat Something New: Baking with natural ingredients can be inspiring and fun. Try this new cookbook “French Pastry Made Simple” by Molly Wilkinson. Molly makes the most complicated french pastry recipes, such as cream puffs and eclairs, simple and sweetens the experience with her American In France perspective. Also, Molly evangelizes the benefits of using natural vanilla bean paste such as Heilala Vanilla or a real vanilla bean when making something delicious such as Pâte Sucrée crust. It really will inspire baking naturally!

  3. Paint & Send A Greeting: When was the last time we paused to take in nature? The colors, the scent, the sounds the natural world creates are incredible. Sit quietly in a garden or park and then paint, draw, create a collage with nature’s inspiration. Try creating a special greeting card for a friend on these Strathmore Creative Cards paired with a Kuretake Gansai Watercolor set. It’s a creative way to get out into nature, inspire fun and spread creativity.

Drop me a message and let me know what you are working on or how you are letting nature inspire your creativity.
