I was unable to work between December & April due to a breakdown. Every single RT here helps put my creative & mental health workshops in front of more eyes & helps me get back on my feet financially. It would help *so* much if you could RT my workshop below if you have a few seconds. Thankyou 🌿
My 14 June botanical illustration & mental health w'shop's now enrolling
I'll teach you:
🌿How to break down plants into simple shapes & add shading
🧠How time spent creatively alters brain biochemistry to improve mental health.

1/2 Our cat Sooty showing off his new temporary collar (the old one stopped working) complete with an added luminous strip.
We've been taking advantage of some dry weather in the garden today and he's been keeping an eye out for intruder cats, as well as stalking both real & imaginary birds...

When we spend too much time thinking about our fears, they grow stronger and take over our thoughts. There's a simple way to manage them: getting your body moving. Whether you choose to exercise, dance, or just take a walk, physical activity helps by taking your mind off your worries.

A great thing that John Kearns said on the Always Be Comedy podcast. When you get the end credits on films these days that go on for ages, why don’t we tell kids that those are all jobs they could do? Like, you can be part of this, it’s real.

Every year we do a ‘free to download and print yourself’ colouring in Advent calendar. This year’s will be available next weekend.
Could you tell me whether we are going to be lucky enough to get a new advent colouring sheet this year? Thank you

I lived in #Amsterdam for 2 and a half years on the top floor of a building on the edge of the Singel canal, just around the corner from Dam Square and the Royal Palace.
This is my pen & pencil #drawing of how I like to remember it.
