Words and Wildflowers Creative Prompts – Issue 116
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

Inspiration of the week: Émile-Alain Séguy
Émile-Allain Séguy (1877–1951) was one of the leading designers of decorative motifs of the Art Deco period. In 1902, after graduating from the École des Arts Décoratifs, he specialized in decorative portfolios. He created motifs for publishers of textiles and wallpaper.
The portfolio, published in 1925, was limited to only 300 copies. The copy preserved at the National Museum of Ceramics has retained all the intensity of the original colors.
Hand lettering inspiration of the week: David Hockney
David Hockney (9 July 1937 – 11 June 2026) was a British painter, stage designer and photographer. As an important contributor to the pop art movement of the 1960s, he is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. He was known for his vivid, stylized realism and championed figurative work, often in a bold style, during a period when abstract art predominated.
Hockney’s Alphabet is a diverse portfolio of works that draws together Hockney’s literary influence with his experiments in mark-making.
