Yesterday I was a paper making factory and made 12 sheets of A6 paper like this piece here all from misprints on Lokta paper that would have gone in the recycling otherwise. This one was from a week ago though so was dry for drawing onto and is now available as an original piece of work in my Etsy shop. I’m intrigued, would any of you be interested in buying any handmade paper or shall I keep it for making drawings? . . . . #mysundaystudio #beautyundermynose #aquietstyle #sustainablecreators #alifeofintention #livesimple #simplethingsmadebeautiful #seekinspirecreate #thelifestylecollective #acultivatedlife #lessismore #thelowimpactmovement #theartofslowliving #ethicalbusiness #draweverydamnday #sketchcollector #illustrationartists #creativityeveryday #visualstorytelling #sketchdaily #illustrators of instagram #illustration_best #thatsdarling #linedrawing #minimalart #minimalbutwithmeaning #✏️draweveryday✏️

Ive just written a new blog post about having a “to cultivate list”. One of the things on mine is drawing and here’s today’s page from my sketchbook. I’m setting out to try and fill a page a day to cultivate my drawing practice (please don’t judge my terrible skills at drawing hands!). I always love these crazy creative portraits that I find on Pinterest and really enjoyed drawing freely and something a bit different to usual. . . . . #mysundaystudio #beautyundermynose #sketchbookpages #aquietstyle #sustainablecreators #alifeofintention #livesimple #simplethingsmadebeautiful #seekinspirecreate #thelifestylecollective #acultivatedlife #lessismore #thelowimpactmovement #theartofslowliving #ethicalbusiness #draweverydamnday #sketchcollector #illustrationartists #creativityeveryday #visualstorytelling #sketchbook #sketchdaily #illustratorsofinstagram #sketchbookskool #illustration_best #thatsdarling #linedrawing #minimalart #minimalbutwithmeaning #✏️draweveryday✏️

Today I’m hoping to finish of my newsletter for May, it’s a little late but that’s okay. Newsletters always start with creating a drawing for my subscribers, and this month is Lily of the Valley which I’ve spent this afternoon drawing whilst sat in the garden. If you’d like to receive my newsletter and this drawing as a free download you can sign up via the link in my bio (and you’ll also receive all the past months flower drawings in your welcome email 🌿). . . . . #mysundaystudio #beautyundermynose #shelfiesunday #mynestandburrow #aquietstyle #alifeofintention #livesimple #simplethingsmadebeautiful #seekinspirecreate #thereisnoplanetb #thelifestylecollective #aconsideredhome #apartmenttherapy #littlecornersofmyhome #lessismore #thelowimpactmovement #theartofslowliving #ethicalbusiness #botanicallyinspired #leaf_ladies #seasonaldecor #seasonallyinspired

The last couple of days I’ve been working through updating all the prints in my shop. It was lovely to look through all the work I’ve done and remember some prints I haven’t looked at in a while. I especially fell back in love with this one. Also I found @vounapp which helps me create these mock ups for days like today when the sky is too grey to get a decent photo. . . . . #beautyundermynose #quietliving #apartmenttherapy #foryourwalls #aquietstyle #seekinspirecreate #mysundaystudio #mymonthofsundays #doggogram #dogsofinstagram #boopmynose #dogdrawing #dogartist #etsyuk #promarkers #girlboss #illustrarion #artprints #drawing #sketch

Bluebells limited edition print now available in my shop (limited to 4 prints). I got really stuck with this one which is why instead of mid April it’s coming out in the beginning of May. Luckily me and Frankie have just been up to the woods and seen millions of them decorating the floor so I think I’m still in time. Also a few mistaken prints led to wasted Lokta paper, which I’ve then remade and is the lovely little piece of handmade paper on the right, I love that being able to remake paper has given me lots more freedom to make mistakes. Being stuck creatively is pretty rubbish, I know how I got stuck and I’ll write about it another day. But how I got unstuck was to let go of lots of rules I was setting myself. I scrapped the drawing I was stuck with and started fresh. I didn’t use a photo for reference, these were just drawn from my brain so they might not be perfectly correct as they are my memory of Bluebells and I kind of like that. I hope you like them too (and if you’re a Bluebells lover I’d highly recommend @wearestardustuk lovely guide to them that helped me get inspired again by hanging out with Bluebells and pixies in the woods 🙃) . . . . #botanicallyinspired #leaf_ladies #flowersmakepeoplehappy #fleurstyle #springdecor #solovelysofree #seeksimplicity #alittlebeautyeveryday #savouringhappiness #embracingtheseasonsathome #beautyundermynose #slowfloralstyle #underthefloralspell #caughtflowerhanded #tfispring #thelifestylecollective #nestandthrive #curatedlife #chooselovely #kinfolklife #distractionsandinspirations #lifeunscripted #floristsofInstagram

I was hoping to draw for #continuousundays today but it’s been one of those weeks where I don’t feel like my feet have touched the ground. So I’m going to go read a book instead and leave you with these daffodils that were continuously sketched one quiet Sunday. . . . . #mysundaystudio #beautyundermynose #shelfiesunday #mynestandburrow #aquietstyle #alifeofintention #livesimple #simplethingsmadebeautiful #seekinspirecreate #thereisnoplanetb #thelifestylecollective #aconsideredhome #apartmenttherapy #littlecornersofmyhome #lessismore #thelowimpactmovement #theartofslowliving #ethicalbusiness #botanicallyinspired #leaf_ladies #selfcaresunday #daffodils #welshart #continuousline

Saving the world part 3 🌍 I’ve just bought myself a paper mould, so now I can blend up my scrap paper and sketches that are no longer useful into new beautiful handmade paper. The process is super easy, my patience isn’t great though and arguably you need to give the paper a little longer to dry than I did 🙈 Also I was thinking a good hashtag would be #sustainablecreators where we can all share our ideas of creating sustainably ☺️ . . . . #trashisfortossers #circulareconomy #zerowaste #noplasticisfantastic #zerowastehome #zerodechet #mysundaystudio #beautyundermynose #shelfiesunday #mynestandburrow #aquietstyle #alifeofintention #livesimple #simplethingsmadebeautiful #seekinspirecreate #thereisnoplanetb #thelifestylecollective #aconsideredhome #apartmenttherapy #littlecornersofmyhome #lessismore #thelowimpactmovement #theartofslowliving #ethicalbusiness #botanicallyinspired #leaf_ladies
