This is blowing my mind, Carolyn and Chloe! You're showing me that it's possible to exist online as an artist in a thoughtful and intentional way. I loved this interview (and the pottery, omg). Thank you for writing it, Carolyn.

And thank you for sharing your digital garden. I wandered around when you first shared the link and I'm still meditating on the snippet about no waste, just compost.

I think you'd enjoy writer Jihii Jolly's library: https://thelibrary.guide/

Thanks Joyce! That's what the series is all about :) and wow I loooove this library and am deep diving into Jihii Jolly's writing! Perfect share that made my day, appreciate you!

This is fascinating and frightening all at once. Fascinating for obvious reasons. Frightening 'cause I'm scared it will lead me down yet another rabbit hole when I barely have time for all I'm involved in now. But thanks for bringing it to our attention.

I LOVE this so much - I feel like I have just dropped down the most wonderful rabbit hole to explore.

Thanks for sharing these. I am fascinated by the possibilities and how they strike sparks off some of the spaces or ways of documenting that I have envisaged over the years but never really got around to building.

Ok that's pretty cool, I'll have to spend some time checking out her digital home. Thanks for introducing Chloe to us!

This is amazing - so nice to meet Chloe and catch a glimpse into her garden, WOW! I definitely want to head in this digital direction, and it's so fun exploring the possibilities for now :)

Really inspiring stuff! Every time you post one of these, I feel the urge to open my code editor, crack my knuckles, and make that old-but-new website I'd love to have! ❤️

I'd love to see that Joshua!!

Such an enjoyable read! Digital gardening (and its relationship to zines) is something I've been thinking about a lot lately and this will give me more to contemplate :)

Thank you Brigitte! Have you started setting up a digital garden or are you in the exploratory phase?

I've thought about Notion for organizing ideas, but I actually started learning to code again and have an indie website I'm slowly building. It's been great. And the process is so slow it really does feel like digital gardening.
