I love the idea of having a storehouse of resources inside! I think mine would look a lot like your sunny library "filled with whimsical books with ornate spines." Also, the things you are exploring were inspiring for me. Thank you for sharing your heart and encouraging us to wonder and be explorers of worlds!
This: "What if all the words I thought were lost were actually carefully held in a library, just waiting for me to walk around in and explore?" made my day. I have been struggling so much with seeing wonder and finding words for my own writing. It has been so frustrating because as a child I had a whale of an imagination. This post has given me food for thought, and maybe the key to that library....
The open ended feel of your invitation (back in January ) got me started. I started with 2 inch square art sketches and water color. Every evening from 8-9:30. Then took a week break and started back with 6”x6” watercolors. It was a way back to art for me. Thank you. Come peek at my page on IG teri.h.hoover. Thank you so much for all your wise words here on Substack. They really made a difference during my dark January. T Hoover
I am not doing to much creating per se. I am doing zentangles which in truth can be very creative but also a great way to practice and destress all at once. I am traveling a lot, solo which is new for me I am gathering inspiration. Miles of snow covered scenery mountains, rivers, streams and fields are all cataloged in my brain and in pictures on my phone.

I have been enjoying my 100 days of wonder and doing small collage. My IG account is @vickilholloway
