From field to forest and stream to sky, capture the harmony and beauty of the natural world with just some paper, flowers, leaves, and twigs. Creating stunning yet impermanent works of art, botanical artists at Sister Golden defy the notion that art needs to be permanent. Using nature as their medium, Sister Golden
forages for natural materials that they then
turn into an image,
photographing the finished piece before returning the natural elements to Mother Nature or using them in another piece.
This beautiful book includes
step-by-step instructions for 25 exquisite nature-themed projects, including seasonal pieces, portraits, and inspiring lettering work.
In
The Power of Flowers, Sister Golden shows you how to
create your own botanical artworks by: - Looking at natural materials in a new way and seeing them as other things
- Foraging for natural materials throughout the seasons without harming the environment
- Caring for your natural materials
- Arranging your natural materials into seasonal images, including portraits and indoor and outdoor scenes
- Photographing your final creations (optional)
- Recycling your natural materials back to the earth or into another artwork
More inspirational and less rigid in process,
The Power of Flowers guides are not only about creating your own botanical masterpieces, but also
enjoying the process of making art beyond the finished work.
