[@MyCozyLife-Lisa]

I absolutely love your whimsical drawing of the dragon with the children riding on it’s back❤ I definitely can see why it was chosen for the calendar. So beautiful!

[@chrissybooksandberries]

Random but I really like your monitor!

[@AhyasCottage]

You will definitely do it as long as your talent fly you to the world of magic. Children literature is my passion since my early childhood so I decided to take this journey with all risks that might conclude but after all I published eight children stories and still have a lot in my pocket as I am a children writer but due to finances I stopped for a while until I could save some money to illustrate. If you want I will dedicate to you one of them and illustrate it 🎉

[@AhyasCottage]

oh wow!!! thank you for the amazing encouragement🥹 I love hearing other people's stories in the kid lit world, so thank you for sharing it🤎

[@tarynhakvoort4132]

I love your videos ❤, so calming and pretty! My favourite ghibli characters are Howl, Sophie and Arrietty! The Howl’s Moving Castle book is one of my favorite books. And awhhh I remember that illustration that they chose for the calendar, it’s so pretty! Loveee the movement and colors in that one 😊.

[@AhyasCottage]

ohhh thank you so much Taryn🥹🤎 they're all such wonderful characters - I adore all 3 of them!!!😭

[@LocaVida51]

Ahya! I am so happy I found your channel, your videos are like a slice of comfort for me to delve into. I was wondering if you would consider making a video about how you started your career as an artist and your creative process? I have found myself in a bit of a creative slump and struggling slightly. Much love :)

[@AhyasCottage]

ohh thank you so much for your kind encouragement! and I'm so sorry that you're going through a creative slump right now. I also find myself in these slumps frequently and so really relate to the struggle🥺 I'd love to share a bit more about how I ended up as a kidlit artist and am thinking of doing a q&a in the near future! so I'll try to announce here or on instagram when I prepare that video!🤎

[@dawnnicholson9675]

Just beautiful and comforting Ahya.. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤
