At times the most beautiful art work is gifted by the nature itself and here's the proof of such art work.- People are loving Vicki's work and are appreciating her art. \"Forage your neighborhood for fallen bits or do some snipping from your own garden, find a flat surface, and see where it takes you!\" she wrote.
- \"It's my way of paying respect to Mother Nature in a sustainable way,\" the artist stated.
- “The last step is to recycle it all back into the earth or into my next piece.â€
- “After I finish the piece, I document it with a photograph, being very careful not to bump the table and Mother Nature's house of cards.â€
- “There's a freedom in knowing everything I'm doing is temporary.â€
- Each masterpiece that she creates require detailed work, “Careful not to sneeze, I use my tweezers to place the white petal of a German Statice as the finishing highlight in the eye.â€
- “I pick up thin twigs, hoping they'll work as a cheekbone or chin. The possibilities seem endless.â€
- Vicki turns to nature for all her supply, “A fallen leaf goes into the bag, later it may become an eyebrow or dog ear,†she wrote.
- “The actual act of creating each original piece, for me, is therapeutic, spending lots of time outside walking and foraging, truly in the moment, my eyes scanning every square inch of my surroundings,†she wrote.
- “Nothing taped, nothing glued, just Mother Nature balancing delicately on itself,†writes Vicki on BoredPanda.
- It's interesting to see how every thing used is natural, no tape or glue is used.
- But what really impresses a person is the amazing flower print.
- The duo sells everything from handcrafted portraits to pillows and other accessories.
- Sister golden celebrates the wonders mother nature and what is given to us by her.
