After sitting with it for a while, I’ve decided to lower the price of The Smidgen Post to $8 ☕ I wanted to be really honest with you… it hasn’t quite found its feet yet, and rather than force it, I’d much rather shape it into something that feels accessible, welcoming, and worth being part of. Also — this community means so much to me. The support, the kindness, the way you all show up… it doesn’t go unnoticed 🥹 So this feels like the right step. A smaller, softer offering… but still full of all the love, creativity, and care I put into everything I make 💛 If you’ve been thinking about joining, this might be your little nudge. You can access this by changing your membership to premium ❤️ And as always, thank you for being here you really are what makes this space so special 🥰🫶🏻🙌🏻😘

What a lovely first introduction to this community from the classroom! Here is my contribution. Took a “little” more than 5 minutes, but absolutely achieved shoulders down state. My current favorite medium is collage. Just beginning to play with that. And with all art (and life) “Done is better than perfect.”

Today would have been my dad’s 86th birthday. I lost him in September, and as you can imagine, days like today invite a lot of quiet reflection. The very first Smidgen Post has been created with that feeling in mind. This artwork is about reflection pausing, remembering, and holding space for the people who shape us. It reflects his life, and the way I still feel him with me, especially when I’m making art. The pic below is of him and me on his 70th birthday and amazingly he flew me round our local area in the plane behind, it was an experience that will stay with me forever 💜✈️ If you choose to join Premium, this is what you receive: - ✉️ The Smidgen Post a monthly piece of original artwork, sent with care - 🌿 A slower, more intentional creative space to return to each month - 💛 Artwork made with meaning, not mass-produced, always personal This first print is already waiting inside Premium, ready to be claimed.
