Images of Nature in Art and Craft

Ever since French cavemen were moved to represent a hunt on the walls of their abode, nature has been an inspiration to artists and artisans alike.

A careful look through some of my favorite {NewNew} shops on Etsy turned up more than a few examples of the enormous variety in how that inspiration can be transformed into reality.

Whether it's ikyoto's adorable take on a natural process, Citybitz's reflection of the beauty of nature in an urban setting, or Blue Stitch Books' delectable artichoke print, the {NewNew} is a veritable garden of earthly delights.
