Yes, I’ll probably write a bit more about it at some point but like you a few people mentioned it and I felt it calling me. First time round I packed it in after a few weeks but this time I found it almost joyful from start to finish! Go and do it 😍
Oooo! Jo! This is just so wonderfully full of magic and joy. I’m obsessed by needle felting currently - I’ve had a little play and want to do some more (but when is another matter!!) what a truly awesome shed and completely adorable characters. Love love love this. Your watercolour is just so wonderfully perfect too, this was a joy to read. Any time you’re in Hampshire near Winchester, let me know as I would be honoured to have an Artist date with you. My studio is no where near so magical, but you’d be welcome to come for a cuppa - although the sofa must be shared with the dogs!! 😍💛✨
Yes!! Definitely! We’re due to be going to Spain in Feb half term, but would be awesome to meet if you’re about when we’re home. Feel free to send me a DM ✨💛
Thank you so much for this delightful and beautifully drawn (in all senses) view of this wonderful artist. I've been a fan (dare I say friend) of Karin ever since I saw a social media post showing one of her Christmas gnomes. I thought, having THAT little fellow at my desk will inspire me to great things! Then I saw their website. Then I joined their members club, the Chokliteers (how could I not?) I never did get that gnome, but I do have the most glorious tribe with my very own Baby Weasus and Small, (from another one of their beautiful books) two mice, a shrew, and a very special Rabbit who is also a Rabbi. (Rabbi Roshi). The world they've created is not just magical, but a healing place (just like the Shed) where we can all pop in virtually from time to time and experience the balm most needed: kindness, care, uproarious laughter and friendship. All of these too rare these days.
I'm also delighted to meet you, Jo, and see your marvelous work! THANK you again for featuring quiet artists who create joy and send it around the world. May we all share that joy and add to it as we can. Your drawing is spot on, and that and your post capture the interchange of two magicians/artists sparking off each other. A wonder to behold. ❤️
Gosh what a beautiful comment, thank you Elise, it is most wonderful to meet you too and now Im imaging your collection about your workspace, how marvellous to have so many companions 😍
OMG Yes, it was just so inspirational, a room just doesn't cut it anymore, I'm definitely leaning towards a shed on wheels that we can tow behind the motorhome 😂
I can't stop squealing with utter delight at that painting of me in the Shed. I am speechless with joy at it! You are so staggeringly talented! Thanks for visiting and for writing such a lovely post about it too. I am also full of inspiration and ideas and you really are one of those radiator people, those that make you feel warm and energised after a visit! Do come again x
Love your illustration and The Artists Way! You’re the second person I’ve seen this week mention it. I think it’s calling me for a revisit. :)

Elise, friend, thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you have met Jo too, she's also a joybringer!
GLORIOUS!!!! Now I want a shed!!
OMG Yes, it was just so inspirational, a room just doesn't cut it anymore, I'm definitely leaning towards a shed on wheels that we can tow behind the motorhome 😂
I would love to see that! Sounds like heaven - the idea that you can take your creativity den anywhere you like!
Yes, I might have to draw it first!

Oh I love being described as a radiator person! What a fabulous expression thank you, thank you!
I'm always inspired by other's fabulous work, I think we'll have plenty to chat about at our next meet up x
definitely plenty to chat about and I might have stopped squealing by then!
