FEEL FREE
Leanne Ford
A very visual and tactile invitation to trust instinct, leave room for play, and try new things to allow your soul to create at ease. This is a beautiful magazine worth collecting but unfortunately no longer in print. I borrowed it from a friend that is my inspiration in all things crafts, drawing, painting, colouring, and collaging.

Listening
Wild Geese
Anna Corinne
Like Mary Oliver's soothing words but in weekly audio installments: a generous and soothing reminder to release perfection and find your place in the world. A mega inspiration from a genuine supercreative!

Watching
Everything Is a Remix
Kirby Ferguson
A playful look at how we borrow, combine, and transform ideas into something new. The first part focuses on music and sampling and reminds me a lot of the book “Steal like an artist” by Austin Kleon. The second is about art making and the final part is all about AI.

Experiencing
Last month at Clownronden
My last day at work had me facilitating a kick-off activity that would close one chapter for me while beginning another for the organisation I have helped in the past 9 months. It was a great creative workshop that gave hands-on recommendations to my colleagues and a lot of personal satisfaction to me. I am grateful for my time at Clownronden and so curious for my next chapter!
