Words and Wildflowers Creative Prompts – Issue 121
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…
“I am here to live out loud.”
— Émile Zola
Inspiration of the week: Lucy Innes Williams
Lucy Innes Williams is a painter living and working in Falmouth, Cornwall. She grew up in Switzerland, Singapore and the United Kingdom.
Lucy works across painting and drawing disciplines. Her subject matter centres around a dream-like interpretation of flowers, celebrating their movement and borderline abstract-qualities. Textiles, decorative folk arts and a contemporary re-imagining of the traditional still life oeuvre inform each painting.
Lucy works on meticulously-drawn laser cut wooden shapes which then frame their expressive subject matter. Final compositions are suspended within a tray-frame, akin to a Victorian collector’s display and always showing the presence of the human hand.
Lucy received her BA (Hons) Fine Art from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Chelsea College of Art.
She exhibits regularly with galleries in Cornwall, London, Norfolk, Surrey and Devon.
