A miniature capture of the Louisiana wild

If you’ve been following MIMOSA for a while, you know capturing quintessential Louisiana landscapes is a passion that literally pulls me out of bed every morning.

I head out to see what nature has for me, and even on the gloomiest days, there is a banquet of beauty.

Thanks to our long growing season and abundance of water, plants and animals (especially birds passing through) can thrive in the littlest pond or ditch. Sometimes, even the littlest pothole. ;)

We have easy access to a kind of wild nature most city folks have to drive miles and miles to enjoy.

MIMOSA Handcrafted Louisiana Wild Jewelry depicting swamp scene with crane bird and large sun

Taking in these small snapshots of Louisiana's wildlife and landscapes is like taking a daily dose of the best medicine.

This piece is a pill-shaped diorama that holds a miniature capture of our most typical wild Louisiana landscape. Bald cypress trees, egrets, cattails, water, and a big, bold sun are the ingredients of our outdoor life here.

For the days and moments we can’t be out in it, this piece is a small way to reconnect with the memory of its wonder.

The inspiration — Louisiana's wildlife and landscapes

We, of course, couldn't show you the Louisiana Wild collection without showing you both the Louisiana wildlife and landscapes that inspired the design.

It's a magical thing, the Louisiana wild. Each capture feels like a postcard perfect scene somehow meant just for you.

And it seems these aesthetically pleasing landscapes offer more than just breathtaking beauty! With a quick search online, you'll find countless articles and studies exploring the benefits of spending time out in nature. Sounds like a win/win. :)

My camera roll is FILLED with photos like the ones below. From a sky on fire with the setting sun to a flock of feathered friends, you'll find it all in our little corner of the world.

Here are just a few favorites.
