@Kate Bullock and I really have a dream. She is one of the first people I met and I believe community member #2 in my community. We have different skills and have a dream of having a ummmm like a community IRL learning art event. The picture kind of looks like this: Arrive at one location (Wisconsin or by the sea in the UK) Stay for 5 days to a week. Take an offering of workshops and classes to Up your Art Game. Eat, drink, be merry and laugh a lot. Does this even sound like something you would be interested in?

Welcome to the team @Sez A were very happy you’ve come to join us 🥰

As many of you know, I’ve been away with @Kane Andriunas this weekend, and although I’m very happy to be home (and rather sore from all the walking… blisters included 🙈), it was completely worth it. 🥳😍 The sun shone beautifully over St Austell in Cornwall, where we rented the most gorgeous old cottage. It was the perfect base for a little creative adventure. 🧭🗺️ One of the highlights was spending a day at Heligan Gardens. If you’ve never been, it’s one of those places that feels like you’ve wandered into the pages of a storybook. Ancient pathways weave through towering plants, hidden corners seem to appear around every bend, and everywhere you look there’s something quietly beautiful waiting to be noticed. It’s a place that invites you to slow down and simply be curious. 🌱🪴🫛 Yesterday we headed to the Eden Project. In this heat… wow! 🤦🏻‍♀️ The biomes were even hotter than usual, so it certainly felt like an adventure! Thankfully, as the evening rolled in, everything cooled down just in time for the Eden Sessions. We were lucky enough to have VIP tickets to see Mika, and what an incredible night it was. We danced, sang our hearts out, and had the absolute best time. 💜 I captured loads of photos and video over the weekend, so I’ll start editing those soon. For now, here are a few unedited snapshots from a weekend that reminded me creativity doesn’t always come from sitting at an easel. Sometimes it comes from wandering somewhere magical, listening to music under an open sky, and making memories with people you love.🥰 I hope you all had a wonderful weekend too. Tell me… what filled your creative cup this weekend? 🥰

I couldn’t not share this insane sky we had tonight. 😍 Every now and then nature reminds us that it doesn’t need a paintbrush to create a masterpiece. The clouds were set ablaze with glowing oranges, soft pinks and hints of purple, and for a few precious minutes the whole world seemed to pause. 😍 No filters could ever quite capture the feeling of standing there and watching the sky paint itself. I hope you managed to catch a little piece of it wherever you are. 🌅🧡 Sometimes the greatest artist of all is the one above us. 💛

It’s been very hot here in Cornwall this week, and my body has definitely let me know about it. 🙈 If you’re new here, I live with a few health conditions, so when the temperature climbs, everything slows down. Even the simplest jobs suddenly feel like climbing a mountain! 🫠🫠🫠 That means I’m a little behind with Around the World in 80 Sketches. If you’ve only just joined us, it’s our weekly creative adventure where we “travel” to a different country using Google Street View no passport required! We sketch, paint, write poetry, collage, or create in any medium inspired by that place. It’s become one of my favourite parts of our community because we get to explore the world together from our own homes. ✈️🌍 The good news is I have a very exciting weekend ahead! @Kane Andriunas and I are heading to St Austell, where we’ve rented a beautiful old cottage, and then we’re off to see Mika perform at the Eden Project. 🌿🎶 If you’ve never heard of it, the Eden Project is one of Cornwall’s most iconic attractions. Built in a former china clay pit, it’s home to enormous biomes that recreate tropical rainforests and Mediterranean landscapes from around the world. It’s a fascinating blend of nature, conservation, art and architecture and one of my favourite places to visit. Pic below 👌 Normal service will resume very soon. Until then, I thought I’d share a few little moments from my garden this week. Sometimes, when life slows us down, nature has a lovely way of reminding us that slowing down isn’t always such a bad thing. 💚🌸
