Words and Wildflowers Creative Prompts – Issue 88

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…

“The secret, Alice, is to surround yourself with people who make your heart smile. It’s then, only then, that you’ll find Wonderland.”

— Madhatter
Lewis Carroll

Inspiration of the week: Katie Moore

Katie Moore is a London-based artist working with clay and paint. She discovered her preferred way of making while working remotely in a makeshift studio, where the freedom of coiling by hand allowed space for reflection and experimentation.

Drawing on a background in illustration and an ongoing interest in stage sets and landscapes, Katie conceives each piece as both vessel and prop. Sketches – made by hand and digitally – form the basis for her painted works, which she develops through layers of underglaze and slip in a process she describes as ‘an ongoing experiment’.

Her practice now extends beyond clay to include painting, continuing her exploration of colour and composition. Katie’s sculptures and paintings are exhibited and sold through small galleries in the South West UK and Los Angeles.

Hand lettering inspiration of the week: Mike Gold

Mike Gold has worked as a commercial lettering designer for over 30 years, mostly at American Greetings. But his real passion is exploring the corridors of calligraphy that have been less traveled, the path where words and letters are design elements with which to play with line, shape and form, where creating a visual statement is more important than writing a readable text. In both his professional and personal art, Mike breaks traditional rules to create contemporary, non-traditional work.
