🌳 Theme: Gratitude for Nature – The Wild and Sacred
Today, we’re creating Forest Fairies—tiny guardians of the earth—using paper templates, vibrant Neocolor II crayons, flower petals, leaves, and found ephemera.

We’ll talk about:

Why expressing gratitude for nature is essential to our healing and wholeness

How nature reflects our own seasons of rest, growth, and surrender

How to use simple materials to craft joy-filled, nature-honoring art

🌸 Supplies I’ll Be Using:

Paper fairy templates (feel free to draw your own!)

Caran D’Ache Neocolor II crayons or any water-soluble pastels

Glue stick or Mod Podge

Artificial flowers, dried flowers or fun stickers

Magazine scraps, washi tape, tissue paper

Scissors + water brush or small paintbrush

You can follow along or simply watch and be inspired.
