Back in 2015 I was given a broken bracelet of beautiful blue beads from my parents’ travels in Greece, which were 'evil eye' beads.

Isn't it disappointing when you find out that a designer or business you like has some dodgy moral compass or terrifying skeleton in the cupboard? I recently had to think a little after finding out that someone I approached for a potential collaboration has a few views against my own (I may talk about that in the future) so I've decided to share a bit about myself, to help you decide if you still like me! The little snapshot photos through this blog are from #MarchMeetTheMaker, a month of instagram prompts from Joanne Hawker, also designed to help you, well, meet the maker behind the scenes!
The obvious, before I get a bit deeper, is that I'm Lisa, I'm my increasingly in my late rather than mid thirties, and I live in the UK sort of countryside (they keep building more around where I live, boo) I've dropped a hint on social media by showing my "headshot" illustration, and today you can read the first in a series of articles I've written and illustrated for Creative Crafting Magazine. They share regular articles on their site, and publish a monthly online magazine too, so you can dip in and out, or sit back with a brew and enjoy the gathered projects, interviews and reviews.  |
