Rachel Winston created R.Whimsy when a book called The Forest Keeper was born.

“The idea came to me like a download– part life experience and part imagination. Many of the characters are real people that shaped who I am today, they are the bears.” After creating the book, the magical symbols followed. The bears in the book were teachers and before illustrating it I decided that their teaching would be with magic symbols. I was already using the daisy, heart, tulip etc in my drawings and so it all came together. The symbols were simple to learn so I decided to host workshops to help girls learn about the magic symbols and virtues that were taught in the book.”

Now, you can take those lessons home with the free downloadable workshop pages. That is what I am launching with because that is the core of my mission with R.Whimsy. To help girls identify the magic in themselves and others.
