It’s safe to say these pictures, which capture m It’s safe to say these pictures, which capture my pure joy and excitement about being out in nature on a long wintry walk with Jayne, eating mince pies and drinking hot chocolate in Wiltshire last week, also represent the excitement I feel about passing my Level 3 Counselling course on Tuesday evening...and what a year it’s been. This feels like a big achievement amongst all the ups and downs of life during the pandemic!! So...on to the Level 5 Diploma in January! 🤩 This means I’ll be stepping back from some of the teaching and workshops that I have been doing over the last few years in order to concentrate my energy on what will be a challenging couple of years. I will carry on making, baking and growing as always of course 🥰 🎨🧁 🌱🍄🌳🥾💕
@jayneede and I went for a walk through our local @jayneede and I went for a walk through our local cemetery to take some photographs of #wildflowers this morning. We then spent the afternoon practicing some stencilling techniques using a photograph of some #threecornerleek as inspiration 💚

*FREEBIE* Made this repeating pattern years ago fo *FREEBIE* Made this repeating pattern years ago for a workshop and have just drawn it digitally so its a bit clearer! If anyone would like a printable copy of this to colour in please get in touch 🐠🐚 💕 You can print off as many copies as you like...swipe to see my example of how four would fit together to create one whole seahorse (I’ll make a colour example soon too!) Perhaps each person in your house could colour in one and then you can fit them all together to brighten up your wall? #colouringin #colourtherapy #mindfulness #creativity
It seems as though I won't be able to run any face It seems as though I won't be able to run any face to face art workshops for a long time...I have been mostly self employed for the last 6 years and so my instant reaction was to dive straight in and reinvent Daff Workshops as an online facility, providing tutorials and courses overnight! I'm sure a lot of you who are in similar situations feel the same way, desparate to keep calm and carry on despite a pandemic! However, over the last few days, as everything has started to sink in and become more real I've come to the conclusion that the most important thing to do is slow down...If I jump straight in to something new and exhaust myself then I'll have no energy left to do the kinds of workshops that I love doing when this is all over! So perhaps the next few months is a time for continuing to share my art with you all ( @daffillustration ), do all of the things in the house and garden that I haven't had time to do, make good food, bake bread, practice my yoga, journalling, studying, keep in contact with friends and family, volunteer, watch films, walk the dog, hug the chickens...plenty to be getting on with I think. I feel incredibly grateful to have a partner, family and friends that can support me during this time. I hope you are all staying safe and enjoying the sunshine. Caroline x
