While making up a new story about Nadia I start to imagine the surroundings for the story. What is the theme, which colours, cloth and animals belong with it.
VILLAGE
Here is an image for one of the upcoming Nadia stories. It takes place in a little village near La Paz. A village surrounded by palm trees, dirt roads, animals and people in the streets (in the dirt road, that is).
Warm, sun, cosy, drinking lemonade, green, wood, palm trees, laundry drying, earthly tones, sand, ice-cream, Chinese lanterns, pink, a remarkable person who makes beautiful things, dust, a new friend?, a merry little goat and some curious chickens. Picture this!
