Creating a Beautiful Phenology Wheel: Nature's Calendar

[@marionsworld24]

Thank you so much to everyone who has sent so many lovely comments about my Phenology Wheels. It's been lovely to read them, but I'm behind on replying to everyone..🖌️☺️

Every day: 1) go outside 2) notice what's happening in the world 3) be creative in a small enough way to avoid paralysis I cannot imagine a better prescription for mental wellbeing. Thank you Marion, I'll be starting one of these in January xx

Marion I've been a KZbin junkie for years because I don't have a television. This is the best video I've ever watched. Thank you for your presence and for your generosity in sharing your beautiful world with us. Bravo.

[@emmaholloway2516]

Before coming to the comments, I had this exact thought! I've never seen anything like this before that wasn't digitally done. A truly wonderful and special way to record the beauty of nature.

[@marionsworld24]

Oh that's high praise indeed Paula and I really appreciate it. Thank you so much for watching and enjoying my video ☺️💐🖌️

[@cavalonja]

Wow! Your phenology wheels are *gorgeous*! I came to your videos to learn about embroidery and crafts. Your connection to nature is a lovely bonus. Your knowledge and appreciation of plants, birds, fungi, weather, etc, speak to my heart and make me smile. I'm always pointing out birds and clouds and whatever to friends and strangers. I want to share the beauty I see with everyone, and I love that you share your beautiful vision with us. Thank you so much! 😍❤

[@marionsworld24]

Thank you so much! I do notice the things around me and doing this wheel has meant I focused even more on particular things.

[@NH-191]

So beautiful, you should be very proud of what you have created. The colours are amazing and you can paint, I wish I could paint watercolours like you. I love the changing seasons and I walk everyday and appreciate what nature gives us. I love the sweet smells from the woods this time of year. You are so talented and it’s great that you share it with us and keep encouraging us to give anything ago. Thank you.

If you want to do it too, just start practicing. I started about a year ago and I see emprovement every few months.

[@kkrolf2782]

@@utenowak7154 From what I perceived of the wheels you shared with us, you must project the Muse Clio, the goddess of painting!! You’re far too humble in speaking of your talents!!! I would burst my buttons to be able to do HALF so fine a work!!

[@kkrolf2782]

I’m envious of what must be your MOST EXTENSIVE garden!! The “sampler” you’ve shared with us is a joy to behold!! For most of my life I lived in the “Midwest” of the U.S. and came to love gardening, but these last many years I’ve lived in the southwest, and that, compounded by dry eye syndrome, has kept me within four walls where I can sorta make my own climate. Sadly, this isn’t conducive to gardening. Thank you BU N C H E S for reopening a nearly forgotten memory!!

[@katerinahikesalot1644]

LOVE this! As a former biologist, and now a nature therapist (and watercolor dabbler), this speaks to me on every level. I will absolutely be adapting this for me. Thank you so much for sharing that!

[@julielapworthhandmade]

Was talking to my husband about how beautiful your phenology wheel is and how I’d like to do one next year. I then suggested I could do a menopause wheel logging my mood swings each day 😂 We had a good laugh coming up with ideas for what I’d paint 😂 ❤

[@Reneesfun]

That’s hilarious and these are gorgeous!

You could just use colours for symptoms, or symbols depending on your ability. Just make yourself a key so you don't forget, love that brain fog lol 😅

[@yetanotherentity]

I have a suggestion!! But first: Marion, these are absolutely gorgeous! That foxglove-- * chef's kiss * wow. Ok so i see these and think gosh, they should be on display! But how? So I'm thinking wall art? Mmm.. round, difficult to frame. Mobile? Maybe but- 12 would be quite a lot to hang... And then it hit me: a calendar! But!! One of those daily ones where you switch it each day- instead of dlipping a page, though, you ROTATE your wheel so the current day is in the 12 o'clock position! You could make a stand for them that would hold the "deck" of 12 wheels in a kind of curved cradle, and allow you to switch out each month and rotate them! You could even do a collaboration (youtube loves when you do those, right?) with a woodworking channel or something to have them build it for you! Ok it was just a thought ❤ As always, adore what you are sharing with us, and your new releases are the highlights of my week!

[@marionsworld24]

I love the idea of a curved wooden cradle for them. That's wonderful. I'll keep that in mind for next year as I've already started prepping these ones for a book 🤞 Thank you so much 😊💐🖌️

Thank you again. This has been very inspiring. 🙂

[@maegpye]

I love the idea of keeping a phenology journal of some sort and this is a great system for it. When my sister and I were teens, our whole family spent quite a few days creating complex patterns with a compass (like your center designs). I have very fond memories of those. I would offer one piece of advice for anyone who needs/wants to buy a compass. Don't go cheap. The cheap ones don't always keep the distance one has set between the point and the pencil tip while one is drawing. I'm mostly talking about those created for students at dirt cheap prices. A good compass won't break the bank. You can also get compasses that will hold a wooden pencil or marker or such. Those types will need to hold the pencil/marker firm so it doesn't slip while you're drawing with it. I think focusing on - that is, being mindful of - phenology can put one in such a unique state of mind/mood. We went out last week and here, things are transitioning solidly into very late fall. It may seem empty of life or color or activity. But I focused on the colors of the native plants I was encountering: barberry leaves turning golden orange -- oak leaves with complex patterns of green, red, yellow, and brown -- yellow, orange and red berries from Coralberry, Carolina Horsenettle and Bittersweet -- light beige fuzzy aster seedheads -- the star shaped structures left behind on the stem after the seeds of Rough Blazing Star had blown. It's not that colorful wild riot of spring and summer flowers. But there's a beauty there. And when one takes in 'what makes this day different than the one before', one can track the slow rhythm and wheel of nature. I have to say, watching you showcase your phenology wheels from the previous months, it made my heart really happy. I can appreciate all kinds of art - but a focus on nature like this (with a fair bit of 'art' thrown in), speaks to me greatly. Thanks for sharing your process and showing us how we can do something similar.

[@marionsworld24]

Lovely message to read thank you. I had forgotten about the compasses that you put your own pencil into. The one I use is the one my husband had when he was at school.. They're so handy for drawing patterns. For something like this it means you don't have to work out the angles or the degrees.

[@thattinawoman5119]

This is fantastic. Two years ago I crocheted a Temperature afghan and it was definitely a labor of love. I have been looking for something along those lines but I can't face another crochet project of that commitment LOL. This is a wonderful idea. I have just started dabbling in watercolors and watercolor pencils with a water brush and I'm having fun with it. I'm sure other artists would gasp in horror at my techniques .. but we are our own artists and can do what we want lol. In the long run if I screw up it's only paper and water, nothing earth-shattering. I've even learned to embrace my mistakes and complete fails. It's just a stepping stone to gaining more knowledge and confidence. You have me contemplating on how I will tackle this lovely project for the beginning of 2025 🥰

[@marionsworld24]

You're doing something for your own self and it doesn't matter at all if someone else doesn't understand about it. I never expected to be showing everyone my wheels as I didn't think I'd be able to finish one month ,never mind all 12... but here we are!

That’s lovely Marion …I know you’re binding it into a booklet , I would put the year on it in the space above the month ,these things do get separated for whatever reason…we did these in school for art…we did building as they were getting built, trees, flowers, sky, insects, a farmyard field…daily tea/coffee/drinks, breakfast/lunch, baking, clothing, shoes,it’s so true you do get better at free hand drawing it can be anything…love it…..tfs always!..

Good idea. It's going to get a front and back cover eventually, but I really should sign and date them. When I started I had no idea that I would be doing them quite like this or that I'd be ending up with a book of them. The whole project just evolved!

Ah Marion, you make me want to paint again. You do it so well, be proud.

My goodness Ellie... I'm not in your league! I'm passable but trying to be better.. at least I can see improvement even with these tiny slices of painting. My theme for November is Texture. That means I can pick things like paint and bricks etc... as long as it's in my garden that is 😊🖌️🎨

@@marionsworld24 But Marion, these are lovely, plus you actually see the projects through, and so can trace the improvements. Brilliant.

Hello Marion, this was so inspiring. I have not been able to get to my gardens as I so desire for a year and recently told my husband I was going to start going out even if it was for 5 minutes, there are things to been seen in such a short span, and this video has spurred me onward, thank you so much. I will begin gathering my supplies this week and making my wheels for next year, to begin in January. The ideas are endless. Your wheels are stunning, thank you so much. And for the lesson of learning a new word, phenology, I have never heard that term. In Joy

I'm glad you feel inspired by it Vivian

Stunning artwork, very unusual. I've never seen anything like that. I have some round watercolor paper bought for creating mandalas, but next year I will give a try on your Phenology Wheel. Thank you for sharing such beauty.
