💌 Love Letters 💌 7
to My Creative Process, with love
Welcome to the first love letter of the year! I’m a little late (okay a month late) but here I am: happy, healthy, and grateful to be here! I thought I’d start this Love Letter a bit differently this time. Since 2025 ended, I’ve been feeling this nostalgic longing for the physical part of my creative process. It wasn’t a breakup, WE WERE ON A BREAK okayyyy! Sometimes you need space from something (or someone…) in order to miss the things that made you fall in love in the first place.
It’s not that I didn’t make art last year, I did. But I didn’t feel that thing in me that makes my fingers twitch with magic. That thing that makes you want to stay up all night honing in on the details until you get it just right. And that’s what I’ve been doing. Quietly. Softly. Gently. Allowing myself grace and excitement and curiosity as I re-explore my passions and fall in love with my creative process all over again.
I’ve been repeating to myself: “Just make it exist first. Make it good later”. I’ve been cutting things up with my scissors and pulling out all my different types of glues (because what kind of madman only has one type of glue…). I’m plugged in directly to The Idea Factory, and whoever’s running it is having a field day flooding my inbox. So, anyway, here’s a fun little take on the Love Letters. And just know there’s more little (and big) surprises on the way:)
