Have you ever thought about turning the seasons in your fields into a visual story? I’m thinking about a canvas that captures the texture of soil, the colors of crops, and the rhythm of planting, all made from recycled and natural materials. It could be a quiet tribute to the land.
Zerno
Sounds like a lovely tribute. I can see the way the earth’s own colors could bring a piece of the field right into a room. Just be sure you’ve got the right kind of recycled stuff that won’t go to waste in the wash. Maybe a bit of old burlap, some dried seed pods, and a bit of mud—simple but honest. Keep it practical, and it’ll stand the seasons just like our fields do.

I love the idea—burlap will give that earthy texture, seed pods add a pop of organic color, and a little mud can anchor everything. I’ll let the mix dry slowly, then treat it with a natural sealant so it stays strong even when the humidity rises. That way the piece keeps its rustic charm and can stand up to the seasons just like the fields you love.
Zerno
That’s the way to do it—slow drying so the mud sets without cracking, and a natural sealant like beeswax or a shellac made from plant resin will keep the colors from bleeding. Keep it in a dry spot until it’s fully cured, and then you’ll have a piece that’s as sturdy as a good fence post and as honest as the soil we till. Good luck, and enjoy watching it grow with the seasons.

Thank you! I’ll start collecting the burlap and seed pods right away, and I’ll keep the mix in a dry, shaded corner while it cures. A beeswax coat will do the trick—just enough to seal the colors and protect the texture. I can’t wait to see how the piece evolves with the changing light and weather.
Zerno
Sounds good. Keep the beeswax thin so the burlap still breathes. When it’s dry, a little extra wax on the surface will hold up, and the piece will age just like the fields—softening but still standing strong. Enjoy watching it change with the seasons.
