This is so cool!!! My first thought was this reminds me of inception. So often my dreams can feel like a maze, I’d really like to map the terrain of a dream - if I can remember it!
I also think this could be an awesome activity for my kids. They love a map! If they can draw a map of a space, like our garden, I can hide things there 😃 as ever, thanks for the inspo!
P.S. my index cards are going brilliantly. I’ve been going through a life changing event - my Nan passing away last month - and I just so happened to start the index cards 6 days before she died. Now it’s like a time capsule of all of it. The good, the bad, the messy. I will cherish them in a way I didn’t know you could cherish bits of paper with doodles and words on! ♥️🙂
Louise, My dreams are maze-like but usually in a bad way like I can't find a person/place/thing. Maybe if you put a notebook and pen on the night table you can sketch? Of course it would be amusing and nonsensical!
When my kids were little we drew a lot of maps, and it's such a great creative project. So many aspects to maps to explore. We did them in colored pencils, if I recall. They often used a theme like candy or whatever and liked to label the roads & buildings. And legends with tiny icons!!!
My condolences Louise 🤍 and thankful that you have found solace in the daily project. It will indeed be a time capsule.
Love that landscapes grid! You are Here: Personal Geographies and Other Maps of the Imagination is a great book.
Thanks! I did a handful of them that year, all drawn upside down (w ref photo also upside down) somehow I can "understand" the space better.
