Your writing is so beautiful Natalie. I already knew you were a talented artist, I didn’t realize you could also write poetry as well. 🧡

You, too, are a gift, Natalie. I am honored you were interested in taking part and even more grateful to rekindle our friendship.

I love this concept of collaborating your art with writers! There's so much creative work I'd love to make and I often feel held back because of the writing element. This is a wonderful way to work with other creatives, thanks for the inspiration - you've got my mind ticking.

I replied to your Note, but I so appreciate hearing your thoughts 🖤 I think there is a lot of opportunity in this space. Here to talk about ideas!

Reading about your collaboration, inspired me to reach out to another creative this week about doing some work together. I’m feel a bit unsure on how to approach it. What starts first , your idea, their idea. But I’m trying to have faith the process will unfold as it’s supposed to and not to overthink this beginning part.

I felt really hesitant at first, too. I wanted this collaboration to feel natural and like it was coming from both parties. This one happened to be a good vessel for it. But I hope more can organically happen! It’s something I’d really like to more intentionally bring into my work as a whole.

You’ll have to let me know how your conversation goes! I’m also open to keeping the conversation open and seeing if we find any overlap 🖤

It’s really great hearing how the process worked for you. It’s a big thing reaching out to collaborate, it requires a great deal of trust and acceptance that what will happen is meant to happen (Control freak me needs to practice this).

And how wonderful you trusted the process and it worked beautifully.

I’ll definitely let you know how my conversation goes. And yes please I’d be very keen to see if we could create some work together (if thats what you meant, it no pressure 😊). I’ve been so focused on client work that I feel very out of practice from creating working from ‘me’.

Hi Honey! Sorry it’s taken me a bit to respond. I’ve been thinking about you since we talked and ways we could collaborate. If you’re still open to it, I’d love to talk 🖤 perhaps connect over email? Hope you’re doing well! I’d love to hear how your other conversation went.

Hey Lauren, no worries at all. Thanks for taking the time to think about it and circle back around. I'm still open to talking more, email sounds good. I'm at honey.photofilm@gmail.com

My conversation went well, we're arranging a zoom meet-up soon to talk it through. I'm very excited!
