brainchildren
Creator's original ideas
Brainchildren is the plural of brainchild—ideas, inventions, or creative works that someone has conceived.
The metaphor treats intellectual creations as offspring: The festival was one of her many brainchildren.
Like children, brainchildren reflect their creators and may outlive them.
