2023

These are all the things that I made and blogged in 2023: handmade cards and artwork in the form of experiments in stitch and textile, along with a little mixed media, colouring and kit-building. I realised that I have a few things that I’ve made this year but haven’t got around to writing up yet; I’ve added some placeholder images below so they don’t get overlooked.

Clicking on the image should take you to the original blog post for that creation.

Handmade Cards

Over the years I have trimmed down my list of people I have to make handmade cards for. Between wanting to spend more time on other creative pursuits and having to manage my energy reserves, I haven’t been doing much card-making just for fun; instead I use each card as an opportunity to try something different (apart from when I just want to relax with my Copics).

Artworks

All the things that aren’t handmade cards: a little bit of mixed media and Copic colouring, but mostly starting to experiment with stitch and textile. I even got around to building and painting a wooden kit that had been floating around for years. I struggled with organising my time and energy this year and creative pursuits fell by the wayside, hopefully next year will be more productive.
