This was one of the best swaps I've received in a long time. My Kindled Swap was working on a return to being an artists without being perfectionist or lost or confused and accepting myself and my ability to create. And
wilhelmina_d did an amazing job! Thank you so much!
Here is my gorgeous box as it was given to me at the post office:
The Contents of My Kindled Heart
Here you see a big white tablet of paper to draw on. A set of vibrant markers and (omg, so cool) twistable color pencils. Then a huge collection of stickers. (I love stickers and I never buy them for myself. And They have me grinning like a kid all over again writing this up, like I did when I first pulled them out.)
A collection of four books. Two for reading: The Undressed Art: Why We Draw and The Weieser Concise Guide to Herbal Magic, both which look amazing. Two for coloring in: Enviroscapes and Archiscapes, which look utterly breathtaking for drawing in colors and being detailed. And I can express how much I love these coloring books and want to start coloring in them now.
These are two really lovely quotes, "Exuberant Imperfection" and "Joy is in the Process Not the Product," which will soon be above my main altar. There is so much truth in these words both for my art pursuits and even in my day to day life. I can even tell you how much I truly adored looking at these. They are amazing reminders and enforcers.
