With the upcoming week, it has surprisingly been less crazy. I’ve been able to balance school work and life, but I know that if something unexpected comes up, whether good or bad, I know I can handle it. My worst fear has already happened to me years ago. Coming home to my safe haven sparks my creativity. I’m surrounded by my favorite things like plants, books, and artwork. One of the pieces I have up is my father’s Aztec calendar, which sits right on my desk. It has helped me with my upcoming project for a pop-up book. In this book, I have to incorporate the letter Q, so I decided to include Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent. I will draw him, but I’m not sure yet how to make it stand out. This is my first time creating a physical book, so it’s going to be a challenge. Additionally, I have a collection of crystals, one of which is a clear quartz. I bought holographic paper, hoping it will add a special touch in some way or another. These are some of the things around me that inspire me, especially my room, which is filled with various little random items I collect. I believe I don’t have to look far for inspiration; my room is my main source of creative ideas. It’s worth mentioning that I never had a room of my own until last year when we moved into a bigger place, so I went all out and painted it teal, decorating it with my favorite things.
