I’m learning this, slowly but surely. If you’ve ever been worried about simply not being worried you’ll understand that sometimes it takes great effort to shun negative thoughts. Anxiety stems from pressure, some external, but mostly ones we place on ourselves, so I think. Since I stopped taking mostly custom orders my anxiety and panic attacks have almost vanished. Give yourself a break, you’ve done enough I keep telling myself, less is always more ♥️ #chooseless #practicepeace #wordsofwisdom #stresslesslivemore Some journals with iconic @wmorrisandco prints and some vintage fabric by @sanderson1860. Hand bound with Khadi watercolour paper. These and others like them will be available at the #Harrogate @clfairs from 29/11-2/12. I’ll also be adding a few online. I love them, I hope you do too. See more in stories 📖🖊 . #lotusblubookart #handboundjournals #bookloversofinstagram #journalart #watercolourjournal #strawberrythief #williammorris #britishtextiles Dear Diary — new books for your soulful stories are coming soon 🖊 . With just two weeks to go until the Harrogate @clfairs I’m trying my best to get both the Etsy and web shop stocked up with our new collections, so thank to all who are patiently waiting, not long now.♥️ Let’s not forget all the innocent animals that have served in our wars. #armistice100 #animalsinwar #lestweforget #warhorse #mansbestfriend 🐶🐎 🕊🐘 🐾 #fbf to when I painted greeting cards inspired by #rangoli patterns, something I’ve been fascinated by since I was a child when I first saw my Parsi neighbour creating beautiful patterns on their doorstep with colourful pigment powder and flowers, a beautiful symbol of good luck and prosperity. Wishing you all that and more, and to all those celebrating this week, Happy #Diwali 🌸🕯 🌸🕯
The Orchard — the first journal from my Heritage collection celebrating British textiles is one with fabric by @libertylondon. I just love the colours and details in this design. Hand bound with 100gsm handmade hemp writing paper and veg tanned British leather. All tied up with hemp rope and tassel. (www.lotusblubookart.com/one-of-a-kind-journals/the-orchard) link in bio. #tbt to two of my most favourite books that I’ve ever made, I used photo transfers of pictures I took in Italy of the frescoes in the subterranean gardens of #villadilivia - I love frescoes. Photographing this book tower today. I just ♥️ this paper! Last of the loose Khadi cotton rag paper packed up for the @clfairs, the rest was added to the shop today. Available in A3, A4, A5 and A6 sizes (link in bio) The only genuinely pH neutral cotton rag paper from India (believe me, I’ve tried loads of different suppliers but @khadipapers is the best!)👌🏽 . . . https://www.lotusblubookart.com/art-craft-supplies/cotton-rag-paper #lotusblubookart #khadipapers #cottonragpaper #watercolourgift #watercolourpaper #calligraphypaper #printmaking #handmadepaper
