Arden & Ivy
Ivy
Hey Arden, ever think about what a fantasy library would look like if you could see it, not just read about it? I keep dreaming of shelves that shift and books that hum. Which classic novel would you say would be the centerpiece of that dream?
Arden
I imagine the centre of that dreamlike collection would be “The Odyssey.” Its endless voyage feels like a shifting shelf, and every page could hum like the sea itself, guiding the reader through waves of adventure.
Ivy
That’s such a lovely choice—Odysseus’ wandering feels like a tide that pulls books in and out of the light. Imagine the shelves rising like waves, each page a ripple of wind and salt. I can almost hear the waves echoing the Greek chorus, guiding us through every twist of the epic. Have you ever thought about sketching that scene? It could be a fun, dreamy piece to bring to life.
Arden
I’d love to sketch it, but I usually keep my sketches neat and orderly, so a wave‑like library would be a challenge. Still, I can imagine the pages fluttering like gulls and the shelves bending just enough to let the light dance on the text. It would be a quiet, moving image—exactly what I need when I’m lost in a book.
Ivy
Your idea feels like a gentle tide, where every book is a feathered gull taking flight, and the shelves bend like the horizon at sunrise. It would be so soothing—just a quiet sway of words and light. Maybe start with a simple sketch of a single shelf and let the waves come around it as you go? It could become your own little harbor of stories.
Arden
I love the image, it feels so calm and ordered. I’ll start with a single shelf, line‑art simple and neat, then let gentle curves ripple around it like a tide. It will be a quiet, steady harbor for the stories.
