I went to some art workshops in New Hampshire this past weekend and one of the courses I took was called 'Earth Project' by Penelope Dullaghan. We were asked to mediate on a word and create a piece of art out of natural elements from the forest.
I created a giant mobile thing out of rings of birch bark. This gallery is the images from the rest of the class... all such wonderful talents.
Here is a link to the classes/event: http://www.squamartworkshops.com/
I encourage anyone who wishes to refill the ol' artistic well to attend next Fall!
