Nature's Art Box by Laura C. Martin, David Cain
(Illustrator)
Whether it's a city park, a suburban backyard, a farmer's field, or
the sandy seashore, there's a treasure trove of natural art materials
out there. Twigs, vines, pinecones, flowers, leaves, rocks, shells, moss,
feathers - they're all gifts of the earth. Add just a few inexpensive
store-bought items, such as glue, string, and wire, and anyone can create
beautiful, natural works of art.
In NATURE'S ART BOX, writer, gardener, and nature-crafter Laura C. Martin
offers 65 cool projects kids will love to make, using materials they
can find just about anywhere. She explains how to make paints and inks
from flowers and other plants; how to use shells, moss, seedpods, and
cones to embellish large objects; how to build elf-sized furniture; how
to decorate picture frames, birdhouses, and keepsake boxes with woodland
treasures; and how to dig clay, weave vines, and make natural dyes to
color T-shirts.
