| “Michaels invites readers to turn the garden into a creative studio, showing how everyday natural materials can become art…. she leaves readers encouraged to explore playful new ways of making art with nature.”―Booklist | “Another valuable addition to the wonderful ways of field sketching and drawing Nature.”―Clare Walker Leslie, author of Keeping a Nature Journal and The Art of Field Sketching | "Overall, Werness’s book is a visually rich exploration of how humankind perceives and represents the botanical world.” Library Journal | "Casting Flowers tells the story of a fleeting moment of glory before each plant depicted has faded – their texture, pattern and delicacy rendered rich in the plaster casting."―Sorrel Everton, Gardens Illustrated | “This comprehensive work covers the gamut of techniques… clear, numbered illustrations make projects easy to follow and thoughts on composition, scale and using colour will take students from beginner to expert.” —The English Garden |

Botanical artist Lara Call Gastinger has made it her mission to teach artists and nature lovers worldwide how to keep a nature-focused perpetual art journal, holding sold out workshops and classes in person, as well as going live on Instagram every Monday morning to inspire and guide the efforts of her devoted followers and practicing artists of all skill levels. Now through this gorgeous, encouraging book, with a thoughtful foreword by trusted and beloved author and ecologist Doug Tallamy, Lara guides readers, nature lovers, and artists through this rich and mindful practice, further illuminated by a breathtaking, up-close-and-personal look into 52 of her own full-page journal spreads, lovingly built over many years.
