Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932), a German artist and professor, was inspired in his art with nature and the way in which plants grew. He captured these ‘art forms in nature’ and used them to instruct his students.

An Awesome Book! by Dallas Clayton
I try to make things that are beautiful. Sometimes these things are written down.
Sometimes they are drawn. Sometimes they are wrapped and plastic and sold in important stores for more money than they cost to manufacture. I love making most things. I am most interested in making people happy. I have a son who is five years old. I enjoy making him happy most of all. I would like to do this more and more every day forever. This is why I write for children.
When I am not writing for children I am writing for adults and the companies adults run, drawing pictures for those adults, and reading things out loud to crowds of strangers. I love strangers.
