Some if you have asked if I design the moon calend

Some if you have asked if I design the moon calendar myself. The answer is a resounding yes! So I thought I'd share a peak behind the scenes.

🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑

I started thinking about mugwort as this year's plant a few months ago. Did some sketches, but I didn't like them and they didn't jibe well with the moon image I had in mind. The clock was ticking, so I set aside some time to spend with mugwort herself.

As always, the plants deliver their messages and medicine when you give them time and attention. I drank some mugwort tea and sat down with some Mugwort and some ink. I asked her for inspiration. I tried stencilling and then started making ink prints of the flowers simply by painting ink on them and pushing them in the paper. Pure, messy, fun play.

Then i caught a glimpse of something I liked and I built on that to make the mugwort ink drawings.

Once I was pleased with the drawings, I scanned them into the computer and started playing around with how they were going to interact with the moon. Next it was time to sort the colour separation for the risoprint, but that's perhaps another post.

Et voila! Asking mugwort for guidance, being open to mess and play, then grabbing the inspiration and running with it when you see a glimmer of something.

🌱Working with plants is my passion because they are wise and wonderful guides. 🌱

Just because they're beautiful. A damp winter wond

Just because they're beautiful.
A damp winter wonderland on today's walk.
Lichens, the liminal beings.
The 'and' not the 'or'.

From Merlin Sheldrake's book, Entangled Life...

"... when lichens die and decompose they give rise to the first soils in your ecosystems. Lichens are how the inanimate mineral mass within rocks is able to cross over into the metabolic cycles of the living. A portion of the minerals in your body is likely to have passed through a lichen at some point."

Medicine making today. Birch polypore and kelp are

Medicine making today. Birch polypore and kelp are both immune boosting ingredients in my Immune Tune Up tonic. I love revisiting in my heart and mind the places that I harvested the herbs from. Mixing here the autumnal woodland and the wild rocky coast. Bringing you the earth and water elements and all the rich minerals and medicine each have to support our resilience as we encounter winter's viruses that do the rounds.
