In Finland a large group of people make Green Art. If you wish you can find more information about this movement over here.
One of the pioneers in this field is the well-known environmental artist
Anni Rapinoja. Here is some amazing work of her from the series
Wardrobe of Nature.

Just amazing! I want to be able to touch them, especially the Coat of Baby Earth.

Coat of Baby Earth, is that the name for the Willow ‘seeds’ Jennifer? What a lovely name… I could not find a good translation for them. In Duch we say Wilgen Katjes. (Little Cats)

You know Marion, this is no different to mixed media jewellery when taking unusual materials and coating them for endurance only this artist is doing this on a much grander scale – absolutely stunning. Where do you find these fabulous links!
