The Magical Journey Once upon a time, in a land filled with enchantment and wonder, there lived a young girl named Lily. Lily had always dreamed of going on a magical journey and exploring the hidden wonders of the world. Little did she know, her wish was about to come true. One sunny morning, as Lily was helping her grandmother in the garden, a colorful butterfly suddenly appeared before her. The butterfly began to dance around her and landed on her shoulder, as if it were guiding her. Intrigued, Lily followed the butterfly as it led her through the dense forest.
Lucia is an artist, letterer and teacher who loves creating illustrated journals and artist books. She has become known for a unique and creative approach to her work which has been described as 'quietly joyful. a nostalgic, moving and profound . a treasure chest of creativity and inspiration'
Many of Lucia s sketchbooks are handmade with a range of papers and combine traditional and experimental hand lettering with watercolour, collage and mixed media sketches. I think the recorded version works best for me - they are so inspirational and I love being able to rewind a little when I can t quite get something or when I want to pause and study or reflect.
Intrigued, Lily followed the butterfly as it led her through the dense forest. As they ventured deeper into the forest, Lily could feel a tingling sensation in the air. The trees seemed to whisper secrets, and the sunlight streaming through the leaves created a mesmerizing dance of colors on the forest floor.

There was an undeniable magic in the air. Suddenly, the butterfly flew away, leaving Lily standing in front of an ancient tree. The tree had a door carved into its trunk, inviting her to come closer. With a mix of excitement and apprehension, Lily pushed open the door and stepped into a hidden world. Inside, she found herself in a bustling marketplace, filled with vendors selling all sorts of magical items. There were potions that could grant wishes, fire-breathing dragons, and talking animals. It was a world of dreams and fantasy. Lily wandered through the marketplace, mesmerized by all the wonders around her. She came across a wise old wizard who offered to teach her spells and potions. He told her about the importance of kindness and using magic for good, rather than personal gain. Days turned into weeks as Lily explored this magical realm, meeting fascinating characters and experiencing incredible adventures. She learned to ride on the back of a mystical unicorn, she swam with mermaids in crystal-clear waters, and she befriended a mischievous pixie who was always up to some prank. Throughout her journey, Lily learned valuable lessons about bravery, friendship, and the power of imagination. She discovered that magic was not just about spells and potions, but about believing in oneself and having the courage to follow one's dreams. Eventually, the time came for Lily to return home. With a heavy heart, she bid farewell to the magical realm, knowing that she would cherish the memories and the lessons she had learned forever. Back in her grandmother's garden, Lily couldn't help but smile as she reflected on her incredible adventure. She realized that the real magic was not just in the hidden realms but also in the everyday world, waiting to be discovered by those who believed. And so, as Lily grew older, she carried the magic of her journey with her, always looking for the extraordinary in the ordinary and inspiring others to embark on their own magical journeys..
