I am pleased to share that I have obtained my Texas Nursery Floral Class 2 License, allowing me to formally expand and operate this business idea at the next level. My current nursery stock includes a diverse selection of succulents and plants, such as Golden Sedum, Ruby Glow Peperomia, Ghost Plant Hybrid, Jade Plant, Ripple Jade, Christmas Cactus, Gollum Jade, Panda Plant, and Elephant Bush. I hope my former work as a naturalist will give me an advantage, or at least a green thumb! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b2cc7057ee8a718025a522/66bda167-d52d-4c66-8657-450189a9c559/9ec626e3042974945dd9b4d99dde0c36.jpg Blog - Growing a New Creative Adventure From reading The Magic Tree House as a child to enjoying novels like The Midnight Library today, I've always loved the magic of a good story. I've been working on creating mystery book bundles wrapped in brown craft paper, filled with thoughtful goodies and personalized artwork. Each package may include hand drawn bookmarks and stickers, tea, and other cozy surprises designed to create a relaxing reading experience. I’m hoping to gather inspiration from Pinterest, and see how creative I can get with this. Would you be interested in Mystery Blind Date Books? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b2cc7057ee8a718025a522/4b98017b-549d-4a7b-af5d-619aacef8fde/c8885074d19c77c21f8065154cfad769.jpg Blog - Growing a New Creative Adventure If you've followed my artwork over the years, you know I love to paint! Can you imagine how cute painted taper candles could be? Recently, I've been experimenting with hand-painted taper candles featuring classic Americana themes (think American flags and rustic country charm), and warm, comforting color palettes. They're still in the early stages, but my plan is to sell them in pairs of 2, wrapped together with twine or ribbon, and to include a warning label (how fancy, I know). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b2cc7057ee8a718025a522/901da894-27b9-4b4d-bb7d-41773a86f2cd/ce1157716d8b8910f2123e041b6e0a9f.jpg Blog - Growing a New Creative Adventure One of my biggest goals is to participate in local farmers markets, flea markets, and arts and craft fairs throughout Central Texas. I love the idea of setting up a booth where people can stop by, chat about art, books, and plants, and maybe find something that makes them smile. While I'm still very much in the beginning stages, every project starts with a single step. Right now, I'm focused on growing plants, developing products, gathering supplies, and finding myself as an artist all over again. I love it! https://www.alexisnicolecreates.com/blog/blog-post-title-one-g2p33 monthly 0.5 2026-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b2cc7057ee8a718025a522/d43bc0fd-ac75-4c78-8612-675981e2d9ac/1F55F97C-588F-4CA4-9404-2C5E8F53A4DC.JPG Blog - Exploring My Creative Passions: A Peek into My Personal Hobbies - A Breath of Fresh Air. One of my favorite activities is exploring the great outdoors. Whether it's a hike through a dense forest or a stroll along a nearby beach, nature never fails to inspire me. I often bring my camera along to capture the beauty of the landscapes, plants, and wildlife I encounter. My favorite place to visit is the Environmental Interpretive Center at the University of Michigan Dearborn, which is open to the public. The photographs I capture serve as references for my nature-themed murals and other artworks, helping me bring a touch of realism and vibrancy to my pieces. I often bring my sketchbook or iPad, a blanket, snacks, and a variety of art supplies. I find a quiet spot to sit down and let my creativity flow, drawing inspiration from the natural surroundings, the sounds of birds, and the gentle rustling of leaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b2cc7057ee8a718025a522/7c74bffe-8cb2-42f2-a8f0-fab93773d09b/Screenshot+2025-03-17+172359.png Blog - Exploring My Creative Passions: A Peek into My Personal Hobbies - To Everything There is a Season. Gardening is another hobby that deeply influences my art. Tending to my garden allows me to observe the intricate details of plants and flowers up close. The colors, textures, and patterns I see in my garden often find their way into my paintings and illustrations. Plus, there's something incredibly therapeutic about getting my hands dirty and nurturing life from the soil. My favorite plants to grow include a variety of fruits and vegetables (carrots, tomatoes, green peppers, and jalapenos) and native flowers (purple coneflower, columbine, and black-eyed susans). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b2cc7057ee8a718025a522/78ccfcfc-8780-4191-815b-babf58dc1453/91JXLW7rnvS._SL1500_.jpg Blog - Exploring My Creative Passions: A Peek into My Personal Hobbies - Read, Sketch, Read. I love to unwind with a good book, especially one that expands my knowledge but also sparks my imagination. I keep a sketchbook handy to jot down any ideas or scenes that come to mind while reading. These sketches often evolve into more detailed artworks or serve as inspiration for future projects. Some of my favorite books include: The Midnight Library, The Secret Wisdom of Nature, and Keeping a Nature Journal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b2cc7057ee8a718025a522/95805365-010a-4074-b8fa-773a24ac1f23/484936132_10223858341121560_8712636113003606548_n.jpg Blog - Exploring My Creative Passions: A Peek into My Personal Hobbies - The Comfort of a Homemade Meal… Believe it or not, cooking and baking are also creative outlets for me. Experimenting with new recipes and presenting dishes in an aesthetically pleasing way is a form of art in itself. The colors and compositions I create in the kitchen sometimes influence my approach to color palettes and design in my artwork. My most recent dish included a delicious beef tri-tip, with baked potatoes, cut carrots, and hand cut toast. My go-to dessert is most often No-Bake Cookies, yum! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b2cc7057ee8a718025a522/09d0fb91-969f-49fc-b920-047b08e04363/468478906_18311410960160843_5574300484248209303_n.jpg Blog - Exploring My Creative Passions: A Peek into My Personal Hobbies - Maine Lobster Festival Anyone? Whenever I get the chance, I love to travel and experience new places. Each place I visit offers a unique perspective and a wealth of inspiration. From the architecture and street art to the local flora and fauna, traveling broadens my artistic horizons and introduces me to new techniques and styles. I loved exploring the coast of Maine, learning about the “Lobstah Men”, visiting Acadia National Park, and taking the scenic drive back to Michigan… what an unforgettable experience that was.
