The Mushrooms are Coming
Still in a bit of an organic mode over here. Maybe it’s the season. The changes of fall make everything look new and exciting again. So maybe all the mushrooms in our yard are always there but I’m really noticing how many different mushrooms we have popping up.
Our yard isn’t the only place mushrooms are emerging. They show up three times in the new Polymer Art Projects—Organics and there is also an art exhibit “The Arts of the Mushroom” in Oakland, California that opened recently last week and looks amazing (open until December 9th if you are in the area). I also discovered a mushroom lover’s group on Facebook that I just had to get in on. Mushrooms forms are amazing!
And then these popped up on my screen. I’ve never thought of mushrooms as cute but these little guys are changing my view on that. They were created by Cheryl Lee Myers of Elemental Urchin. Each fungus face has his own expression and personality. It drew me to look for more of her work and I found her Instagram page and these cute corals as well so I thought I’d share them both. Also take a look at her work in her Etsy shop.
What new things are you seeing outside your door these days? How might it inspire the things you’re creating?
