Words and Wildflowers Creative Prompts – Issue 80

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

Quote of the week…

“My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. Continue to allow humor to lighten the burden of your tender heart.”

— Maya Angelou

Hand lettering artist of the week: E. Rollet

E. Rollet was an 18th-century calligrapher, (born around 1741), known for a surviving manuscript titled “Calligraphie du dix-huitième siècle” (18th-Century Calligraphy), featuring alphabets, texts, and calligraphic demonstrations, showcasing fine control of hand, providing valuable historical examples of script. The work serves as a valuable resource for studying 18th-century calligraphy styles and techniques.
