Cosy Autumn days spent foraging for foliage, pressing leaves, baking and wreath making

Описание: Hello and welcome to Dogberry Hill Studio! My name is Gina and I’m an artist living in a small town in Newfoundland, Canada with my five cats. In this video, I go out walking and foraging for foliage to dry for a wreath for my front door. I press some leaves between book pages and I make a blueberry steamed pudding. Yum! I form a wreath base from branches I cut from trees in my garden and I use the dried foliage and pressed flowers and spend a quiet Sunday afternoon making a wreath. I love these quiet, cosy days of Autumn when nature is at her most beautiful and life starts to slow down a bit. Thank you so much for being here. Autumn Blessings! 🧡
