Annie's interpretation and my sketchbook page for the month

I am excited to share some work from our community! Annie used 2 prompts and photos to create her piece:

I thought this interpretation was so clever and a reminder to look all around you and notice what can be found in nature.

Thank you Annie for sharing! You can find her over on Instagram @anniejbrown.

If you’d ever like to share what you created for the Creative Spark Challenge, feel free to send me a photo with some details or tag me in your post on Instagram. My favorite part is seeing what everyone is making so don’t be shy :)

I also chose “nature” to use as inspiration for my sketchbook page this month! One of my favorite things to do is to print out photos I’ve taken and use them to make a collage. I have been lucky to be able to explore the outdoors lately and there have been so many scenes and moments that I have loved. It was fun to get to play around with some of the different elements and combine them together. Here is a photo and you can watch a short process here.

I had several photos and printed them quite large so I added an extra flap so there was more room for this collage. The second photo shows when the collage is open.

I also included one of my favorite quotes about nature:

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature—the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.” – Rachel Carson

June prompts will be posted shortly, I look forward to seeing what you will create with them!
