If you’re in the Berkeley area, stop by the Castle in the Air shop for some great demonstrations this summer! I love this one by D. Sharp, featuring her paper ephemera bird.

Feather Prints
July 9th, 2010
There’s a tutorial by Lemmemakeit that shows how simple it is to print with a feather. It would be fun to see what other natural elements can be turned into pretty prints!

Paper Nature
June 8th, 2010
Look at this gorgeous flower I passed on the street. Doesn’t it look like paper?! It reminds me of the tree-free gift wrap I carry in my store, Soolip, made of recycled cotton rags. I love the texture and had to share it with you all!

Tiny Blooms, Big Impact
April 6th, 2010
Untitled by Katie Helmer
Ahh Spring! I love this photo by Katie Helmer that I found on Creature Comforts blog. These tiny blooms are just bursting with color. If you take a closer look you’ll notice that not one blossom is the same, but rather perfectly different. They would make a great gift topper.
Take look around for some Spring blooms of your own. Tie them together with some twine or waxed string, and voila! In no time you’ll have a fresh and fanciful gift topper of your own!

Best in Show
March 10th, 2010
It is amazing what you can create with repurposed materials and a bit ofimagination! MODA botanica put together five storage crates, graffiti included, and filled the otherwise listless urban rectangles with soft and lovely florals and succulents. The mix of rusty metal with lush flowers was just perfect…and won them Best in Show at the Philadelphia Flower Show this past weekend!

Beautiful find by Elizabeth Hubbell
January 11th, 2010
Winter flower in bloom
Just wanted to share this gorgeous photo that my friend Elizabeth Hubbell of Elizabeth Hubbell Studio sent me. While outside on the grayest winter day, she came across this beautiful tree blossom bursting with life. Nature always has a way of surprising the quiet observer. Go take a walk outside, listen, and look. You’ll be amazed by what you find.

Elizabeth Hubbell Studio
December 12th, 2009
Elizabeth Hubbell Studio
I am completely inspired by my dear friend, Elizabeth’s working studio. One can always expect a delightful array of color, something living and either ink and pen, or in this case, water color doodles on her desk. I am a firm believer that if one’s working environment is inspiring, uncluttered and containing things that fuel one’s passion, great things will come. Take a look at Elizabeth’s web site- http://www.elizabethhubbellstudio.com/

The Gift
November 11th, 2009
The Gift
Stumbled upon these two rocks …… one – quiet, round, at peace, alone, and the other – open and ready to receive. Beauty is in all things.

Paper or Tree?
October 11th, 2009
I wanted to share this photo I took on a recent nature hike with my kids in Jacksonville, Oregon. I stopped dead in my tracks when I caught sight of this tree and its peeling bark that so simulated paper. Mother Nature produces such stunning beauty, doesn’t she?
