Hooray! I'm so excited to finally get to share two of the cards I made for the new #MTGLorwynEclipsed set!
It was such a joy to work on these and I'm still pinching myself to see my name on a magic card, how crazy! Many thanks to my amazing AD Jameela Wahlgren who was an absolute joy to work with!

Forgot to say that I'm reading Nature Writing for Every Day of the Year by Jane McMorland Hunter
This antho is my 2026 year-long read since, as the title says, it's got a nature writing extract for each day of the year.
I've already found two things I'm interested in reading in full!

If international law's now meaningless (it's not) & we're allowed to force a change of leadership in any country because we don't like the person in charge (we're not), then we should be forcing a change of leadership in the good ol' US of A [sic], 'cos the leadership there's totally out of control.

I've just noticed that the handle on the inside of my door is loose, so recalling that the cheapskate landlord switched out the handle from another room to use on my door when the handle on the previous one sheered off in my hand in 2024, I've decided to keep my door partially propped open at all
