We are finishing the year, and it is time to take stock. There have been many good projects published in the community. These projects have not only educated us but also moved and inspired us. The great majority of the projects that have received the highest ratings from the community correspond to work done with what has been learned in the courses. Seeing how their authors have taken the time to explain and document the creative process is lovely.

Thanks to all of you who share your projects with progress, joys, and challenges with the community. With this generosity, we achieve a more affluent community in collective knowledge.

Thank you very much, let's get started.

This project by Chloé, which has been the best rated of the year. A personal Inktober challenge where for 30 days her notebook was filled with nature, landscapes and memories of places visited has taken her to number 1. Enjoy some selected pages from her notebook, they really are fascinating. If you want to learn and get inspired we recommend the course I teach Chloé "Daily Sketching for Creative Inspiration" by Sorie Kim.

Ludek Burian is a self-taught woodcarver and puppet maker from the Czech Republic. He always encourages those without self-confidence, showing that you can go far by doing things as best as you can. It is fantastic to see the results he gets by carving Linden wood and then coloring it with watercolors. If you want to learn with him, we recommend his course "Wooden Marionettes: Making Puppets from Scratch".

Aniko is dedicated to writing, creating interactive books and doing writing and creativity workshops. In this project she has created a travel notebook with the challenge of documenting emotions, thoughts and stories.

She has used various materials collected during her travels to decorate the pages. Making this project allowed her to relive her experiences and enjoy a nostalgic trip. Do you usually save clippings, brochures and tickets from your travels? This is a good exercise to save them. I highly recommend her course "Travel Journaling: Document Feelings and Memories" to learn how to create a story with these memories.

Julia Guevara has created a magnificent papercut project on the book The Little Prince, inspired by Paz Tamburrini's course "Paper Cutting Illustration: Create Extraordinary Books".

Julia has carried out the project step by step, adding the carefully assembled covers. You can see the result in the photographs she shares in her project, where she demonstrates a remarkable ability to create books that escape from the traditional format using the papercut technique.
