Here is a rough of my library in the Sims :3

There is something to be said for the organic nature of zoo maps too however. It could be more "area focused" instead of "to scale."

I am also inspired by theme park maps. I think I would prefer more "grain" or "salt" than this map however. I would love to see an artist's style shine through.

I suppose I am looking for a more stylized version of something like this:

Inquiry to #medievalsky i just came across these framed manuscripts on the wall of someone's house in Colorado... Can you give me any more information? It stopped me dead in my tracks.

A manuscript of sheet music potentially from the middle ages.

Watch as I weave Kate DiCamillo's writing with costume, illuminated art, maple sugar confectionery, and HISTORY lessons! I am so proud of my kiddos for carrying on the timehonored manuscript art of "silly little guys." I feel so BLESSED to be where I am doing what I do 😭💕 #library #kidlit

A Librarian dressed in a red houppelande passing out maple sugar candy to students.

Text from Kate DiCamillo's book "The Beatryce Prophecy." The text is about the monks making maple sugar candy.

Student work at various stages of "letter illumination." Some have little creatures.

Teacher materials for the project. Books on illumination, font binders, exemplar, reference material for creature marginalia.

I made a child! She is 6 months old and loves looking at flowers and leaves. She giggles about pretty much everything. ❤️

Happy first day of Pride! 🩷💛💙 Just like most bisexual women, I attended a farmers market with my introvert husband. 😎👉👉

Shirt reads "homosexuality exists in hundreds of species, but homophobia is only found in one. Which is unnatural now?

Lemonade stand a block from the farmers market.

I LOVED curating our Lunar New Year display! I used the red envelopes *sans money* as freebie bookmarks! 🐍🧧🌸 #edusky #kitlit #tlsky
