February Flowers! Shakespeare Edition!

Last year was my first year participating in #FebruaryFlowers. The project was very healing for me and I created some pieces that I loved that I turned into my 2023 calendar.

This year I am excited to mix 2 things I am enjoying right now- Art & Shakespeare. My son and I are studying Shakespeare this year and I have loved how many nature references there are in his works. I created these nifty prompts inspired by his writing.

Please feel free to follow along and create your own Shakespeare inspired flowers. If you do, I would love to see them at the hashtag #bardblooms.

Happy Creating!
