Words and Wildflowers Creative Prompts – Issue 79

We LOVE research and learning as a way to get inspired and boost ideas and creativity!! So, Kenzie and I are going to be sharing the inspiration that we collect here in our second newsletter…. once a week!!!

Here’s how it works:

We provide the inspiration. You interpret it however you wish… any medium, any size. It is meant to inspire lettering and floral art combined together. But, you can:

Just do the florals, just do the lettering, or combine them together.
Use the provided quote for your piece or select your own.
Use colors from one of the inspiration images or select your own favorites
Create the floral art… as a still life in a vase, a single flower, a border, a pattern, a bouquet

Hope you will create with us and post your work at #wordsandwildflowers2026 and tag @lorisiebert.studio and @snippetsofwhimsy

Inspirational artist of the week: Henry Phillips

Floral Emblems is a book written by Henry Phillips and published in 1825. It explores the symbolism and meanings behind different types of flowers, with each flower being associated with a particular emotion or message.

It was part of a larger trend in the early 19th century towards studying and appreciating nature. The use of flowers to convey sentiments and emotions was quite popular during that time. It includes descriptions and illustrations of a variety of flowers, along with their associated meanings. For example, the rose is often associated with love and passion, while the daisy represents innocence and purity.
