September 2025 blog | sketchbook pages, painting and stickers

Shop Update!

I updated my shop at the very beginning of the month with new goodies. I’d appreciate it if you had a look :)

I added the:

-'Colourful Quilt' sketchbook

-'Draw Outside' sketchbook/zine

-'Chepstow Castle' mini zine

- 3 Lil Guys stickers

-'Chepstow Castle' print

-Lucky Dip Bags

To go along with all my usual zines, sketchbooks, stickers, prints and downloadables.

h.Art

With it being September it was time for Herefordshire Art Week! We pushed ourselves to venture out to parts of the county we haven’t explored during h.Art such as Kington. Abbey Dore was one of my favourite locations (I filled a lot of sketchbook pages there) while my favourite art/artist will probably have to be Clair Hodgson who we met at Laskett Gardens. Her watercolour pieces of the gardens are incredible!

‘Zest’ submission

Went for a classic still-life painting for my submission to Clementine Anthology’s latest theme, ‘Zest’.

New sticker sheets!

We made a new sticker sheet for From the Witch’s Scullery of flower photos we have taken ourselves. They came out super nice! Shout out to Rosemary a.k.a. illuroses for her super fast and high-quality sticker-cutting services! We will be putting them up on the FTWS shop soon.

Wall altar painting

I tried something new this month - painting on wood! The other half of From the Witch’s Scullery makes one-of-a-kind wooden products and we decided to experiment by having me paint onto one of her wall altars/shelves. It was VERY difficult painting on plain wood - it bled very easily. But I think that as a first attempt, it came out pretty nice!

Witch Notes notebooks

I said I was going to go mad making books with my new cutter! For the market we were selling at this month, I decided to make some notebooks with two designs. These will be on the From the Witch's Scullery shop soon too!

Upcoming

I will be selling at Magic Print Fair next month!

The Fold, Bransford, Worcester

I am also hoping to join in on one of the many monthly art challenges running in October. I’m liking the look of #mosstober2025 by @kiaraintheforest as well as #linktober (on IG). Having not done very much art lately I want to get myself drawing on the regular. We’ll see what I manage to do.

If you’ve read this all the way through, consider supporting me and my work by going over to my Etsy shop and having a browse if you like zines, stickers and prints mostly based around nature and travelling. You will also find my pet portrait commissions there! letsgetartyshop.etsy.com <3
