Ann -- I love how Piranesi by Susanna Clarke inspired you to create a beautiful world of your own. Thank you for sharing it with us!

You recently shared leaves with writing on them. The next day... I picked up some leaves and wrote on them!

Rippling great stuff! Almost as delicious as your luna moth creation!

Your enthusiasm brings me joy-- thank you! Ripples are beautiful.

Marrying imagination with nature. It reminds me of C.S. Lewis's Narnia as well. You really captured mysterious paths and objects that are posing as ordinary but-that's next level! We could fear getting lost in that imagination!

Oh man! Sometimes we want/need to get a little lost, don’t we? I doubled down on my hikes at the start of the pandemic as a way to escape from the constant fearful news of death and suffering. Time outside became more important to me than ever.

I hear you; sounded like a great strategy. It was alot.

i loved Piranesi but was so excited by the plot that i didn’t let myself imagine the world as much. sounds like i’m due to revisit it and be a Scientist myself.

I love re-visiting a good book. It’s so interesting to see new details and all of the care that the author has put into the work. Enjoy!

YAY! Isn’t it fun to feed each other’s creativity? I love how ideas spread and bounce from mind to mind!!! 💥
