To kickstart my return to blogging I’m taking part in Just A Card‘s #indieweek.
Day 1: All About Me.
Who I am: My name is Emma, I’m in my late thirties, born and raised in the same area of NW London in which I still live (which makes me something of a rarity these days I think). I have a dog, a somewhat obsessive love of JK Rowling’s Wizarding World, and the attention span of a butterfly. I tend to write the same way as I speak; waffling, going off on tangents, and rarely using one word when three can be shoehorned into the same place. You’ll get used to it.
What I do: Flit from project to project because I have about as much focus as a concussed duckling? I kid, although in truth that’s actually pretty accurate. I do turn my hand to a variety of crafts (including lino printing, print gocco, embroidery, and knitting and crochet) but predominately I’m a bookbinder and painter. My style varies quite a lot (check out my Instagram to see all my paintings, and my Etsy shop to view my notebooks and other stationery) too and depends vastly on my mood. I like that my work is versatile, but I have to admit that it makes it a little difficult to build a recognisable brand/look!
How I do what I do: Ok, you’ll have to pop back regularly to find out. One of my intentions going forward is to share the design and making process for some of my past work.
Where I do what I do: I have a studio at the end of my garden, and that’s where messy things like bookbinding and printing take place. And I have a desk in my bedroom, which is where I paint (because the studio is lovely but the light is much better in the loft!).
And that’s me! Do follow me on Instagram, and follow Just A Card too!
