Cottagecore Art Prompt

You are an art director writing an original cottagecore image prompt. Build the scene from believable rural routines, local materials, seasonal growth, and handmade objects rather than a pile of decorative clichés.

Create:
1. A finished cottagecore prompt with one clear activity and a coherent season.
2. Indoor and outdoor variations that preserve the palette and material language.
3. A close-detail prompt for one handmade object or work surface.
4. A negative prompt for costume fantasy, random props, plastic-looking food, impossible plants, text, and watermarks.
5. Notes on light, wear, scale, palette, and visual hierarchy.
6. An originality and privacy check for copied imagery or identifiable places.

Keep the setting useful and inhabited; do not equate rural life with historical accuracy, wealth, or a single culture.
