Flower Haiku (part 1)
This time some Haiku to go with small pieces of art I’ve made for ICAD2020. ICAD stands for Index Card A Day and is organized annually by Daisy Yellow. During the months of June and July she invites you to make art on an Index Card every day: 61 pieces in total. In 2020 I was inspired by an older Illustrated Flora of the Netherlands. I chose 61 plants/flowers and wrote a Flower haiku for each one. In this post Flower Haiku (part 1) with the Marigold, Narrow Plantain, Mint and Wild Strawberry. I must say I learned a lot and liked it very much to write an appropriate Haiku with the plant I choose.
Creative for 61 days
The beauty of ICAD is, precisely because you are working with small and inexpensive resources, you can just try everything and it is also not a problem when something “fails”. It’s just indexcards… Every week you get 7 prompts/assignments and also a theme you can work with, for example collage or crayons. You can follow that, or just go your own way and choose your own theme and/or resources. The latter is what I did in 2020.
You orange hero
Your super healing powers
Take care of us
A little bit sky
Not very noticeable
But still standing strong
Your leaves so tasteful
Poured over with hot water
Nourishing myself
Beautyful flowers
Little tasty sweethearts
Delicious harvest
If you have been following me for a while you know that I also did ICAD in 2019. In 2019 I made 61 collage houses, also with this I wrote a Haiku. Take a look here or here.
