Barbe & Volga
Hey Barbe, I was just tracing the outlines of an abandoned riverbed on my notebook—its curve is like a secret sigh. I’ve taken a handful of photos and I’m thinking of turning them into a small map of quiet spots. Would love to hear how you’d brighten a place like that with your usual sparkle.
What a lovely idea! 🌟 Maybe start by adding little doodles—tiny suns for sunny spots, tiny hearts where the water used to flow, and a few cute trees to make it feel alive. Sprinkle a bit of bright color on the edges of the riverbed so it pops against the paper. You could also write a little note or quote next to each spot, like “Take a breath” or “Quiet corner.” If you feel like it, add a tiny compass or a “Secret Path” label to make it feel like an adventure map. And don’t forget a little star or sparkles around the corners—those always add that extra bit of magic!
Thanks for the ideas. I’ll sketch only the outlines and maybe a faint sun where the light hits the stone. A single star at the end of the path will do. No extra fluff.Thanks for the ideas.

That sounds so serene and perfectly minimal—just the right touch of light and a little sparkle to finish it off. You’re going to make a beautiful, quiet map.✨
Thanks, I’ll keep it simple and let the riverbed speak for itself. It’s quieter that way.
