Reading the narrative of any story or a real-life event with pictures is giving immense pleasure just like old times. You're doing amazing and inspiring.
Thank you, Tanya! And I so hope you have a chance to visit Lofoten soon -- your work is absolutely gorgeous, and I'd love to see how you capture the beauty of the islands in felt 🤍
Thank you so much, Medha. By the way, I just had a chance to read your latest post and am so sorry to hear about everything the past few months have held for you and your family. Sending strength and light your way this week! 🙏🤍✨
I so appreciate your kind words, Joan, and what you wrote about there being a sense of synergy between my words and art was the loveliest encouragement to hear. Thank you! 🤍
Your lovely comment and kind words mean so much, Ragha. I'm so happy you enjoyed this post and that it could even bring you some comfort 🤍 thank you for sharing that!
How wonderful that it still looked exactly the same! With the world changing so much, it’s comforting to know that some places retain their sense of beauty and tranquility 😊 Your next essay series sounds so cozy and warm -- I’m sure it will be amazing!
It's so funny you should say that, Daisy -- as Jose and I said the exact same thing after we arrived back at the hostel :) We've had so much change going on around us with our move to Belgium that to find the common room looked just like when we'd last seen it seven years ago, gave us that same feeling as when you go back to the home you grew up in and see your childhood bedroom again...it was such a moment of comfort and reassurance for us both, and an unexpected gift from our time on Lofoten.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, and for being here! 🤍
This was beautiful. There must be a word for the joy of coming back to a much-loved place. It’s not nostalgia, but something much deeper. The drawing was gorgeous!
I love that thought, Priya, and I couldn't agree more with you -- if you happen to come across such a word one day, please do let me know 😊 Thank you so much for reading and being here!
Thank you so much, Jade -- I'm so glad you enjoyed this post. I especially loved getting to bring a certain illustration of dumplings to life while we were on Lofoten 😊
I'm a bit behind on reading your posts. That's because I can't bear to rush through them; they must be savored. This one is marvelous. I love the magic of places that become creative homes. I'm in awe of your talent - both visual and written. Thank you!
I love the name of your blog. Your art is done so painstakingly. Your writing is mellifluous. Thank you for sharing
I love words and this is the second time I have come across fabulous 'mellifluous' today - so thank you!
I can't thank you enough for your kind words, Nalini -- it means so much to hear you're enjoying what I share here on Dandelion Seeds 🤍
Breathtaking!!!
Thank you so much, Mel! 🤍

That's kind of you. It's taken me on a relatively wild rise of emotion, so thank you!
