Measuring my work. I realised this transparent glass jar, which sits on my studio desk, is gradually being filled up with my pencil shavings. It clearly shows my output of sketch work, which has not been that bad this month #measuringtools #sketchdaily #pencilsketches

From my sketches and paintings, I have designed 11 new greeting cards for a new stationery range, yet to be named. Here’s a glimpse of what’s to come #newideas #newstationeryrange #minimalartwork

A vase of flowers. One to be framed, but always a little tricky to choose a frame when the artwork is so small #smallart #framingart #flowersonathursday

I love this chair. It sits in a friend’s flat in London. A friend who I always enjoy time with. It’s strange, when visiting, I actually don’t sit in the chair very much, I prefer just to look at it #chairsiliketodraw #pencilsketch #placeswhichmakemehappy

A month ago I returned from a two week artist residency in Normandy. I’ve posted a few photos of my time away. I can’t explain in words how this really helps me to free up my artwork and for new ideas to flow, but it does. Spending time away from everything in the house and put in new surroundings works a treat for me. It doesn’t have to be far away either, for this transformation to take place. A day on Hastings beach can work just as well. Thank you to @naturalbasketry for hosting the first week of the residency in the beautiful millhouse, it was a perfect start and it was also lovely to share time with @juliegurrwillowweaver and meet @totallylucid @chrishawkinsart #notingnaturesummerresidency2019 #timeawaytothink #newideasform
