Seeds of Hope

 

Today we start a new month, and that means a new host at Art Journal Journey.  This month we have the talented Tracey from Hotchpotchcreations.  Tracey has chosen an interesting theme, which is (sorry folks, but I live in the states and spell it a bit differently) My Favorite Color is October.

When I think of October, I think of apples, pumpkins, and leaves changing colors.  These are also the colors I associate with October.   Although I was tempted to use various colored leaves for my first post this month, I decided to go a different route.   Therefore, I chose the color of apples.  I'll gather some leaves later this month. 

These apple seeds have been saved through the centuries here in the states.  Historical records indicate that apples were one of the first crops planted, cultivated, and harvested by colonists who brought seeds with them from England and western Europe.

 

There's a revival to keep these seeds alive for future generations.

I call them Seeds of Hope,

which is also the title to this post.

Seeds are carefully documented and stored

before planting some seeds that will hopefully grow into trees that produce these varieties that have been around since they came to the states with the colonists who settled Jamestown. 

and require specific information on how to cultivate depending upon the variety and cultivar. Some of this information has been passed down

I chose the dye ink colors I used in the stencil from the apples I found in a horticulture article on saving these seeds.  Unfortunately, I didn't save the name of the magazine that contained the article.  I computer generated the words and colored them using watercolors.  

 

Thank you ever so much for visiting today.  Tracey, Chris, Erika, Valerie, Yvonne, Bleubeard, and I are delighted you joined us and hope to see you this month at Art Journal Journey with your own take on My favorite color is October.
