In spring, my thoughts turn to gardening. I've wanted to set up a worm composting bin for ages, and finally made it happen.
When the UPS package of worms arrived, I assembled all the parts, added some vegetable scraps, and then created this art journal page about my vermicomposter (worm bin). I used collage, colored pencils, ink, and alphabet stamps.
The page shows the thrifted tote I punched drainage holes into the bottom of and used as the worm bin, the shredded paper that became the worms' bedding, the mortar pan to catch water drips, and the worms that I dumped on top of the bedding. I can't tell you how exciting this is for me!
I had a worm bin years ago when I worked as a park district naturalist. Setting up my new worm bin brought up feelings of nostalgia and happy memories from those days.
Celebrating the things we love in our art journals is a way to deepen our enjoyment of them.
