My Etsy shop is now open for my 5 sets of greetings cards: spring, summer, autumn, nature/botanical collections & tiny posies. I post to the US now too.
I create each of my photos using recent neuroscientific research so that looking at them shifts your brain away from fight or flight. A great way to support me:

If you're looking for a gift for someone who's perhaps prone to anxiety or low mood then one of my Victorian ink bottle kits might be for you. The booklet in the kit describes how creative activity changes brain biochemistry to improve mental health.
If you know me on here & have a spare few seconds a RT would help so much. Some of my kits have sold which is fantastic (thankyou so much) but perhaps due to the financial climate not as many as usual. I know it's cringey to ask for support but I'm trying to get back on my feet after being v unwell-RTing would put my shop in front of more eyes x🌿

Just so perfect that Trump’s preferred decorating aesthetic is ‘Wetherspoon’s in a faded seaside town on the south coast’.
What a lovely sheep 😍
Hetty is not one for the heat she's much happier and content now she's lost her thick woolly fleece for the summer.

Hi, I’ve had a rough few months mental health (so income) wise & engagement is way down here. If you could maybe RT my workshop sale👇🏼to help put my classes in front of more eyes it would help so so much. Thankyou 🌿
I'm holding a botanical feathery flash sale this w/e - you can bagsy 15% off my June botanical or bird illustration & mental health w'shops w. the code LEAFYFLASH15.
I teach you how both creative activity & contact with nature can literally rewire our brains to increase resilience to stress & trauma & how & why just 10-15mins of drawing is like taking anti anxiety meds/antidepressants.
Plus learn how to draw twigs or wrens...✒️🌿🪶

Quite a few folk have said that they missed my photos. This has given me a small boost that counters the dark relentless depression whose controlling voice is my brain's inner git-when I'm not well she tells me that my posts, work (& me) are utter worthless sh*te.
Here are some of my photos to make up a little for my absence due to brain illness. I design them using recent research on how looking at plants, flowers & plant-based patterns improve human mental health.
If you zoom in & they make your brain feel better, even slightly, for a few seconds, maybe...RT this? ty:
