Prime Publishing Celebrates Earth Day 2016
Northbook, IL – Always passionate about thrifty creations, the Prime Publishing LLC team celebrated Earth Day this year by crafting up some greenery for their desks and homes. Combining tiny terra cotta pots, Purple Wave pansies, and paints, the editorial staff potted single flowers into painted pots this Earth Day.
The gorgeous miniature crafts allowed the staff to take some time out of their day to create and appreciate the world around them. Chelsea Scarnergie, an editor, explained: “It felt good to take some time out of my day to create something special for a little flower. Painting the pots was a fun and creative way to celebrate Earth Day, but I especially enjoyed bringing my lovely pansy home. Now I’m just waiting for her to get a little bigger and I’ll transplant her in a larger pot!”
