Acorn art in Use Acorns and Pinecones

By sandnsea2

Fall is a great time to gather all those acorns and pine cones, large and small. You can drop them off at the art department of your local school for the kids to use in craft making. With all the budget cuts nowadays, the schools are very appreciative of this.... and so are the kids.

Wow, this is an old thread. So let's bring it back to life.

I'm a nut (no pun intended) when it comes to foraging. If it falls from a tree, I will pick it up and paint it. So many varieties of acorns! So many ideas!

Next I work on pinecones...

I am a big fan of David M. Bird. Have his work hanging in lots of places. So charming! He's an amazing craftsman and photographer.

I so admire anyone who can make something beautiful from practically nothing. David is a creative genius! And by photographing the scenes, they will last forever. Long live Becorns!!!
