The Botanical Arts Committee encourages members to take up the craft of this detailed and intricate design technique using only dried plant material to create lifelike motifs. Designs can include: botanical jewelry such as earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and rings; botanical embellishments that enhance a ready-made object with dried plant material such as decorating a box or an egg; botanical couture that emulates an item of clothing or other fashion accessory; and botanical forms using dried plant material to create a natural form like a flower, bird’s nest, bug, or animal. The Botanical Arts committee is here to teach, excite and nurture our members’ creativity for using dried plant material in embellishing the craft of botanical arts. |
