New Challenges...


 I've set myself the challenge of learning how to edit films using iMovie.

I love watching artists' and creators' vlogs and I'd love to learn the basics if i can.

One of my biggest challenges, however, is talking to the camera, to put my actual, real face on there instead of hiding behind it, a place where I am most happy!

This is the beginning of a short film I made about the Characterful Creatures collection that will be in my shop next month.

I wanted to post this here because I have been fighting the urge all day to delete this film that I posted on Instagram.

Perhaps I'm holding myself accountable here and I wanted to document the fact that I'd actually done it!

(Now I'm going before I delete this too!)

  6. I'm about to create some little films myself so I'm looking forward to see what you do. You look and sound lovely in front of the camera so I’m glad you went ahead and posted it.
    By the way, your book is really great and I love it. I own many but yours is a real treasure.

  8. I love watching artists blogs on YouTube! My favourite ones are the natural ones and that’s one of the reasons I’m getting a bit fed up with Instagram and have found myself visiting blogs today instead. I’m very happy to have found yours.😆x
