Collecting Nature
I love to collect little bits of nature and display them around our home.
They are a constant source of inspiration for my artwork.
Last week I found the most perfect glass box to display some of my beloved treasues.
My growing collection of Margie rocks
living together with a few that I've covered with her very easy to follow instructions
Seedpod canoes (as I call them) filled with little bits of wonder
that I gather on walks and some that have traveled from all over the world
as gifts from my most generous friends.
The gorgeous background of this photo is a painting on wood panel called "Black Cactus" that I bought from my very talented friend Tiel in Australia.

Hola me encanta tu blog, adoro todo lo que haces y me voy a animar a hacer mis propios sellos con goma de borrar, claro siguiendo tu tutorial esta grandioso....
muchas felicidades por ser tan talentosa.
Saludos.
Just found your blog, and am enjoying it immensely. (And your banner art is gorgeous!!)
Oh beautiful!!! My kids have been collecting feathers all year and it is now a fine collection... I love your giant seedpods they are wonderful!!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!
This is awesome Geninne. Truly inspiring. Thanks for putting the crochet cover tutorial for the stones. Till you do the painitng tutorial for the stone I will try my hand at this. Seed pods are amazing too.
Esas seedpod canoes parecen ser los contenedores ideales para todos esos tesoritos! Yo los guardo en frascos pero no se aprecian tanto! Muy bonitos!!
Beautiful collections - they could live in my home any time! :-)
i LOVE collecting little bits of treasures from nature!! your collection is awesome!!
I love seeing collections. They're always so inspiring! Im showing mine in a few days in conjunction with another blog (excuse the grotesque pimpage there, that's really not my style) and wondered if you're taking part too or if this is purely a coincidental pleasure? I apologise if not, these would be perfect for it. So stimulating!
Thank you very much for putting tutorial of Margie'stones et bravo for your "cabinet de curiositées" in canoe!!
I love your collections. My husband often teases me that we live in a naturalist's lab. I can't imagine going for a walk and not picking up a treasure or two. Enjoy your weekend.
I can see how these beautiful things would be inspiring. The glass box is perfect!
i like the glass boxes...and canoes..hope you find some lovely treasures the weekend too...
I have an exact kind of glass box that will soon be housing a small, intact (empty/hollow) crab body found on the beach Florida.
Thank you so much for the link to the tutorial for the crochet covered stones, I have wanted for so long to learn how to make them!
Collecting bits of nature is one of our favorite things to do also, such beauty is all around when you just open your eyes to see it!
Hello Geninne, I found this ancient Chinese painting of birds on someone eles's blog and it instantly reminded me of your paintings. I want to share it with you hope you'll like it.
