I missed making my New Moon card yesterday. For a moment I was frustrated with myself, but then I realised this personal practice isn’t about perfect timing. It’s about taking a moment to pause, reflect and create. Frogs have been very much on my mind recently. Last weekend I spent a wonderful day at a … Continue reading New Moon | Taking the Scenic Route
Full Moon — 30th May This month’s full moon card became a cinnabar moth. Unlike most of the other cards in this series, this one turned itself sideways into a landscape format rather than portrait.
