Nature-made anklets, barrettes, belts, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, pendants and rings add life to your wardrobe. A walk in the woods or a gait in the garden will rekindle your hunter-gatherer instincts. Decorative seeds, pods, twigs, nuts, leaves, petals, fruits, barks, galls, and stems are within arms reach or beneath your feet.

The alert observer can gather bags of natural objects on each excursion: seeds from persimmon, chinaberry, juniper, ginkgo, paw paw, Kentucky coffee, cassia and sunflowers; pods from wisteria, magnolia, and mimosa; nuts from oaks, hickory, black walnut, buckeye; and berries from dogwood, holly, and hackberry.

Harvesting Botanical Beads

Some artisans grow botanical bead gardens to harvest seeds for their craft projects. Such plants as moonflower, cannas, lotus, four o’ clocks, gourds, Job’s tears, heart vine, honesty, beans, and corn furnish seeds with a variety of colors, sizes, shapes, and textures.
