Prints, Pain and Pumpkins
Well, it's officially Autumn, that sweet, golden time of year and as always I have a bundle of projects on the go.
I have a few updates to share: Firstly the bad. I hurt my right wrist a couple of weeks ago which means my days have been filled with lots of resting and not a whole lot of drawing. But thankfully it's nothing serious and I should be back to full drawing glory for October.
Secondly, I have uploaded an article here that celebrates the work of the Sketchbook Collective, a team which I was proud to be a part of this year, as well as an interview we did with Cass Art which you can read here.
The third exciting and much more important update is that I on Wednesday I OPENED MY ETSY SHOP!! It's still in the early stages so I'm happy to receive any feedback about what is working and what isn't. If you do kindly order something and have a spare moment please leave a little review on the shop's page to help it grow, and if you share anything on social media please tag me so I can see it!
Aside from that I plan to celebrate October with many rainy walks in the countryside, homemade soup and spiced apple pie, knitting a cranberry-coloured scarf, and reading a big old historical novel.
On the 22nd I shared this sketch over on Instagram of Kathleen Kelly's sweet bookshop from You've got Mail - one of my fave films for this time of year - to welcome in the new season.

I will also be doing a little daily drawing challenge this month, so to keep up with my progress you can follow me here where I will post daily updates!
And that's all for now! Happy Autumn my lovelies,
Catherine
