S2, E4 / Mélanie Johnsson: Illustration, Open Water, and Creativity in Motherhood

Today's episode is with Mélanie Johnsson, a freelance illustrator and creator of Spellbound Magazine, with a penchant for bright colours, good vibes, and eco-conscious messaging. I've been a fan of Mélanie's for a while now, so relished the chance to sit down with her (virtually) and ask what inspires her and what she's enthusiastic about!

Today's guest chez Enthusiast is the fabulous Francesca Kletz, the founder of The London Loom and author of the world's funniest craft book, Weave This.

Oh, and we talked about Barbra Streisand too.
