Creating is a joy!

I get excited just looking at things like pure white drawing paper, new pencils and crayons, and other art supplies, or at fabric and thread that haven’t been turned into anything yet. It’s wonderful and joyful to see the things I imagine come to life from such simple materials. Even though the process leading up to completion can be challenging, it’s an important and unique experience. It’s also fun to see the finished product.　I created this illustration to convey the sense that the joy of creating is sprouting up all over the place.
