About the Book
All Lovely things is perfect for artists, collectors, and crafters of all stripes and ages. Lea is the author behind the book and creative behind Leafcutter Designs. Working as a “Pinterest for the inner soul,” this beautiful artistic exercise book helps people analyze the meaning behind our favorite objects. Illustrated prompts and open space ask us to examine what the items in our lives say about who we are: from a sweater from a first date, to a favorite kitchen item, to an old toy.
ALL LOVELY THINGS prompts us to:
o Draw portraits of ourselves, or people we love, admire, or imagine
o Connect specific objects to important people in our lives
o Create sketches, collages, or descriptions of the key items in our lives—and how they have contributed to who we have become
I hoped you enjoyed this episode of Halfstack Highlights!! Shout out to Lea for an amazing conversation and for creating a journal that is sure to inspire artists.
