I collect leaves, bark, berries for firewood, medicine, and keeping food sealed. A mosaic sounds nice, but unless it hides a trap or marks a spot, it won’t survive the wind or rain. If you’re going to make something out of it, build it into a shelter or a storage pit instead of a picture.

First dig a shallow pit, line the bottom with large bark slabs so it’s weather‑proof. Cut a piece of bark that fits the top, carve a simple leaf pattern into it, then apply a thin layer of berry pulp to colour the edges. Leave the lid hinged on a small wooden latch so it opens by pulling. That way, when the wind hits, the pit stays dry, and the leaf door keeps the stash hidden. Stick to a small, sturdy design—no fancy gizmos, just solid wood and natural pigment.

Sounds doable. First find a stable piece of bark for the lid, then a smaller strip for the latch. Cut the bark with a saw, smooth the edges, then carve the leaf motif. Mix some berry juice with a little resin if you have it, pour over the carved area, let dry. When you dig the pit, line the base with bark and place the lid. Tie the latch to a thin piece of rope or bark so you can pull it closed. Just remember the pit is for food or tools, not just for show. Keep it simple, and it’ll last.
