Well, once again it’s time to start wrapping up another month’s nature art challenge! For today’s explorations, I added details and outlines to my crocheted shapes using a thin, dark brown string. Here is the result of today’s explorations:
For the final day of the Nature Crochet Art Challenge, create a border, frame, or support for your canvas. Consider the materials, colors, or patterns that you might use to complement your composition.
‘Til tomorrow…happy explorations!
For today’s challenge, I continued adding the large shapes of color to my canvas. Here is today’s resulting explorations:
Since my design had overlapping leaves, I decided to use two different colors for my leaves. For tomorrow’s challenge, using a thinner yarn, add details to your larger shapes.
As promised yesterday, I would like to share a recycle art collage lesson idea with you.

To prepare your surface:
1. Cover surface with glue. Add newspaper/magazine clippings to create collaged background. Apply glue to cover surface and let dry.
2. Cut shapes/designs out of cardboard and use painter’s tape or wax to temporary attach to dried collage surface.
3. Paint over surface and cardboard stencil. Remove stencil and touch up edges with paint.
4. Once dry, add details using pen.
Enjoy!
‘Til tomorrow…happy explorations!
