Windowsill Art : Creating One-of-a-Kind Natural Arrangements to Celebrate the Seasons

Almost everyone does it: puts a little something on the windowsill to watch it ripen, root, or just sit there looking pretty. But the windowsill can serve as a stage for more intentional arrangements – a personal, free-wheeling kind of art…a catalyst for creativity. Author Nancy Ross Hugo demonstrates how to use the windowsill as a platform for small, simple displays that celebrate the seasons and reflect the personal style of their creators. Her fresh approach uses bottles, jars and other small vases to showcase arrangements of locally collected leaves, seedpods, flowers, fruits and twigs. In Windowsill Art the reader will learn how to find and display materials, why some containers work better than others, how to combine materials – and simple techniques to enhance creative possibilities. Beautiful full-color photographs throughout.
