Welcome to Smidgen of Calm @Minoo Shinde 🙌🏻 I am so glad your here ❤️

What a great way to start the weekend we welcome @Julianne Anderson to our beautiful community 🙌🏻💜

If you’ve been feeling blocked, uninspired, or like creativity has packed a bag and left the building… this one is for you. 🥰 Set a timer for just 5 minutes and make anything. No pressure. No masterpiece. No overthinking. You could: 🌿 Scribble shapes 🌿 Blend one colour into another 🌿 Write a tiny poem 🌿 Rearrange objects into a photo 🌿 Doodle with your non-dominant hand 🌿 Collage scraps 🌿 Make a glorious mess When the timer ends, you can stop. Or carry on if the spark has returned. Sometimes creativity doesn’t need discipline… it needs an easy doorway back in. The pics below are my current sketchbook I cut a paint supply catalog in half and I am painting backgrounds or using the images as part of my creation. The fact that is it doesn’t matter how messy it is makes is unique in itself, but I love journaling and sketching like this it’s so freeing 🙌🏻 Share what you made below if you’d like messy beginnings very welcome here 🤍

What’s something small you do that brings you back to yourself? 🧐 I don’t even know if I fully know my answer yet… but I think mine sits somewhere between curiosity and that little pull to test myself and see what I can do. I’d love to know yours 🤍 What makes you feel most like you? A little moment, a small ritual… a smidgen of calm to come back to ✨

I switched things up for this one new fineliners 🙌🏻and a page in my homemade sketchbook… and honestly, I just let it be a bit messy and free. It ended up feeling like a proper little forest all those tangled lines and soft earthy tones 🌲🤍 I think that’s what I loved most about this stop… it didn’t need to be perfect, just felt. If you haven’t tried it yet, go and get a bit loose with it Sweden seems to suit that energy beautifully. Pop your sketches below, I’d love to see your take 🌿✈️
