In October 2017 I came across an internet blog challenge for a story written in two sentences. I wrote a story. Liking the format, I did another one. Another one. And another.
Quite a few stories later, I had enough for a book. Not only did I have stories, but I had written a short poem and created a brush and India ink illustration for each one as well.
The result was Minuscule, published in 2018. I’m now going to show you the book illustrations as an ongoing feature on this blog, once a week. I’ll link back to the story (they have been published one by one on my poetry blog).
If you want to hold the entire book in your hand, the print version is available on Amazon.
“Creation” is the name of the story…
I love the variety of shapes making up this urban scene and the way the heart shapes frame the scene, top and bottom.
Home is the most important place to me, the idea of it and the actual place. Hearts to my home and that everyone can have a home is my hope, somehow, some way.
It was great to go back and read the original comments about finding and making a home for yourself. I think Jane has found hers now. And Sharon…have you heard anything from her recently? (K)
Yes, it is interesting. Home is even more important these days, I think.
The heart on top of the building in one of the images brought a smile to my face š
Love your home. Be in a home that you love, if you can. Find one that you love. All of these, however it fits – home is important. That is my message.
š Your awesomeness is awesome Claudia š
Thank you. Ditto to you!
