Hello friends! Did you miss me?😉

This is an old old poem that (I believe) I never posted.

Image description/ A typed out poem on white paper with black text which reads; I watch the earth. Feel all hope seep away. So I turn towards the stars. Until I heal enough. To return to reality./End description

Hello!!!💜

Recently dressed up my phone, with only a fraction of the many artists I adore and listen to!

All the stickers made by yours truly except for the temples, which came with my cd. Levellers, Flo, Horrors and Depeche are all acrylic paint and paint marker on sketch paper✨

Tears is watercolour on sketch paper with paint marker and the sun was recycled out of a very old book on astrology I got from a junk shop 💜🌞

Image description - A clear plastic phone case filled with colourful stickers. From top right, a bright red square with Levellers written in black messy text. Below, a single stemmed red rose with white highlights from the Depeche Mode Violator album cover. Below, a bright yellow strip with Temples Volcano in blue text. Below it, a sap green diamond shaped with a black capital H in the center. To the left, a light blue background surrounded by lilac, baby pink and yellow flowers, a yellow and gray canary and in the center the words Florence + The Machine in black text. Above it, a golden sun with bright yellow rays, on a light watercoloured background and in bold black text is TFF. - End ID

I've read that all of us, every human being, has never actually seen ourselves the way everyone else sees us. Fun thought aye?

Anyway hi hello💜✨

Image Description - A poem typed in black type on white paper, which reads; Have you seen her? In a reflection. A puddle, a glass. Or behind the mirror. I've seen her, truly. I could take her picture. Paint her for you to see. But you can't see her. Not truly. In the bottom right corner is the watermark of the author S.A Marshall. - End Description

"Warmth in darkness" acrylic, watercolour and paint markers on sketch paper ✨🌙💜

Hello, it's been awhile! I have, however, been creating quietly, infact I have a bit of a backlog of things to show you all!

[symbolicmyths]

I had this leaf pressed and saved in a book for about two years, but only just turned it into something! And yes, a moon is probably a very predictable thing for me to paint, oh well

Acrylic paints; "mars black", "violet reddish", "ultramarine" and "titanium white" on a Platanus leaf💜🌙🍁

I wasn't sure if I would post this, but with the lack of recent writing I thought I really should post some new words. I wrote this in the middle of the night after I suddenly woke up, it wasn't worded as gracefully nor was the grammar as good as this version, but the message was there. I've often worried I come across as a bad person, or like an narcissist, maybe it's one of my biggest fears. But hey, we can only try our best💜✨🥀
