Episode 490 of the CMP, a Creativity Matters Podcast — November Gratitude, a Gratitude Cloak, and a Series of Vignettes
This episode is partly (mostly) a read-through of a recent post on the Illustrated Life substack. There is gratitude talk (that doesn’t exist in the substack post) and a series of 10 vignettes that invite you to listen and to make meaning from the juxtaposition of simple moments. There are parrots and roses. There is a bit about baked feta pasta (which was the topic a while back). There are panels about the embroidering of a gratitude cloak.
You’ll find the notes (and the graphic novel panels that are talked about) here: Gratitude and Vignettes
