Seed Pod Inspiration

Hi everyone. Happy weekend .  It is a crisp and cool Saturday morning here in New Hampshire. My hives aren't totally gone but are doing much better right now. That is  a reason to celebrate. Add that to this lovely morning, and it should be a good start to the day.

You might remember this photo from a recent post. I took this seed pod photo at Bedrock Gardens.

I love the shape of seed pods. There is something organic and interesting about them.  I used this one as inspiration to make a rubber stamp in the general shape and design of the photo.

With a few artistic embellishments of course.

I played around with ink colors, and then picked my 3 favorites. I cut them out and turned them into a plant with seed pods. Or if you prefer, they could be flowers too.

I added some "seeds" into these pods in the shape of some black and gold metallic confetti bits I had in my stash. I also used some black marker to add a few details. I created the stem with a green and also a brown crayon layered on top of each other.

I have not idea where the tag came from as it has been sitting on my work table since back in mid-July when I started making pages for last month's Art Journal Journey challenge, but I liked it with these 3 images and I also liked the texture of the stitching on it. Add that to the blue denim page that makes up the background , and there is lots of texture here.

So I am linking up this page to Jo's Texture challenge at Art Journal Journey.

Hope you like it.

The hubby and I just decided that since it is a nice day and too cold to use the boat, we are going to go out for a little road trip. See some different scenery. I think the trip to Vermont the other day for his meeting inspired us that we need to go do something fun, and not clean more of the basement for the third weekend in a row. 

Wishing you a good weekend too, and whatever you decide to do, enjoy!
