Thank you, Jean for your refreshing prompt. I took two days to collect greenery from our beloved hiking mountain and arboretum. I have 5 shades of green picked up from the paths. There are Spanish Moss, blue green algae, a skeleton fern, dandelion seed heads, a decomposing pin oak leaf. I also picked up little branches and bark.
The B Line Designs Cloche was stamped direct to the base and the bottom was embossed with Bronze ep. The glass sides were inked with Memento 'London Fog'. I used a piece of acetate on top to give the illusion of glass. All the plant material was placed and hot glued to the base.
Put me in the penalty box if you must, Jean. I did fussy cut this amazing tree branch from Memory Box 'Frond'. I didn't even think about it being a 'flowering tree' until I had it glued down.
I chose 'see possibilities everywhere' as my Revitalize prompt. I couldn't help but think how these bits and pieces I picked up on the trail would be missed or kicked or crushed in a days time. I took them and gave them a home in the cloche.
Thanks for a very fun challenge, bfnm.

I wish I could click that FAVE button a million times but I did click it once....fascinating, gorgeous, monumental, amazing...I had some dried ***** willow buds that I almost put on until I looked them up to find out they're considered a flower. So no worries. I'm happy you got to hike to find all these treasures. I love bits and pieces of nature.
