I've got slightly behind with sharing my Art Cards. Not because I stopped making them, but because I've been feeling pretty rubbish for the last week or so. Run down, headachey, achy and generally without much spare capacity. The cards were still happening quietly in the background, but writing about them and putting them out … Continue reading Two Art Cards, a Scrapbook and Coming Back to Myself
