Oooh! Love the color swatches and rainbow pages. But it's hard to pick a favorite! Thank you for sharing your experience with getting unstuck and playing. The way you describe it, this book gives me gentle mentor vibes. 🩷

I attended fine art school which was such a privilege AND boy it really pushed my perfectionism to another level that ended up creatively paralyzing. It's taken me a long time to get back to playful creativity. I'm so grateful to finally be in a good rhythm now! It feels like I've come back home to myself.

I think it definitely gives gentle mentor vibes! And wow, your experience with fine art school makes total sense. I'm so glad you're in a better place with your creativity now :) thank you for reading, and for this comment!

Definitely an interesting concept, turning art into play instead of focusing on results (it is SO hard to separate perfectionism from art so I like how you approached this). The frog is definitely my favourite of your drawings!!

This is beautiful! It kind of reminds me of those workbooks many of us used as kids, and the focus on "play" probably emphasizes that association a bit for me :) I feel like this is something that would be fun to do with friends as an inexpensive gathering, too!
