I was looking in my #sketchbook, and I found another piece of #art I did that inspired a big part of the #fantasy #story I'm #writing.
Death is a single dad to a goddess.
I'm not telling you the rest and spoiling it. 😉🍃🍂
But, I'll leave you with one, critical hint...
Breadcrumbs, a web of them.

I know that just 4 #worldbuilding maps in one year might be few and far between, but it's for the love of the detail and tiny, intricate landmarks, roads, hills and the history that I #write for my #fantasy #book that takes up time.

Have been experimenting with different styles recently with my #glasspainting and decided to do a blue tit on a branch of rose hips.
As much as I enjoy #painting the cartoonish stuff I usually do, I loved how the bird turned out. But maybe be a bit more gentle with the #ink.

I made a small #sketch and a #storyboard for this short story I'm working on.
I've been #writing this #wip for a while and sometimes I struggle to #create ideas for how I want it to go.
So I've done some #conceptart for it to help me draft ideas.
What do you think?

You know what's really a beautiful thing to me as a radiographer, #BlueSky?
Brains...
Structurally, they all look identical-ish. But the people..?
You have different lives, different personalities. Just, different...
Same structure, different wiring.
That's beauty to me.

A year ago I asked my sister to buy me glass painting pens because I wanted to try a new hobby.
I've been collecting glass instead of throwing it, and transforming them into little art pieces!
I'd like to do something with them involving charity one day. 😁

Alright #writingcommunity, I have to admit. Trying to write a book for children is much harder than I thought.
How do you explain something as big and heavy as the topic of death to a child? How do you explain, that they won't see someone again?
I want to get it right.

Some days, writing feels like slogging through mud. You wrestle with every word and end up cutting more than you add. Other days, it’s MAGIC. Your brain locks in, the words flow, and--gasp!--the scene is good. Both kinds of days matter.

This is the 4th map been #drawing to #illustrate my #writing.
I don't have a name for it, it's simply called the land of the Forest Gentry.

It's crazy to me how a lot of people think their lives aren't worth writing about because they think their lives are boring.
But that couldn't be further from the truth...
Because, YOU only say that, because, your life is what's normal for YOU.

You know what? Not bad for something that would have been thrown in the recycling. I'm glad I #upcycled it, because out of all the #glasspainting I've done so far. This #floral #abstract design has been the most unexpectedly fun out of all of them.
It's going to be a beautiful vase.

I'm stuck with this children's story I'm working on, and I was thinking about it at work.
I saw a robin fly up to a ward window when on break, sing, then fly down and land near where the daffodils bloom.
People will call it silly, but I definitely feel someone 'up there' is trying to help out now.

Impulse bought a very fine hedgehog house because my sister took a pic of one in our garden. Also, a neighbour's garden may be cleared of #wildlife.
Not #decorated a #hedgehog house before. Did tiny #floral #paintings on the doorway, then some giant #artsy sunflowers and tulips.
Hope they love it.

Yay to these slow-paced Sunday afternoons where I can just sit and do #drawing.
I'm creating a hoodie made of life experiences, that everyone can relate to in some way.
Not sure what to put on the water bottle or the bag yet. Just making this #art is bringing up fond memories.

I was visiting somewhere that was a big part of my uni days. And, I don't know why, but I got hit hard by nostalgia.
I wanted to make something to represent it all. All those 5 years.
The clothes and bag is going to be made of memories and milestones.
