You have just inspired me to pick back up a project I started a few years ago and then stopped because my horrible inner critic kept asking ‘who wants to see a hand stitched book all about moss?’
I do! I want to see it and I want to make it and you have just reminded me that that is enough.
I love your idea of creative process from source-to-sea (I think you said). I too have been thinking about not breaking your own heart’s promises and how I can use the next few months for just getting on with making my art. I very much look forward to reading this latest addition to the Allen family of art xx
Love that you’re doing this Ruth, and flinging open the permission gates for anyone who wants to follow on their own path. Looking forward to spending time absorbing your zine, words and art. x
So true Ruth — agree with everything said. We do get to create just for ourselves. I did just order the zine (I’m in the US) and it charged me international shipping. I see now that I’ve read the whole post that it sounds like the hard copy is only available in the UK? Should I not expect it then to be mailed. 😊🌿
Hey Jane! No, you will receive it in hard copy! I had intended it for UK only for boring logistical reasons but so many lovely folk said they were sad I changed it 🤣 thank you! Xx

Thank you as always for your words
I'm so glad! It is enough. And also, I want to read that! And I so will many, I am very sure of it ❤️
Ooh, I’d LOVE to see it.

This is so inspiring Ruth, thanks very much. I’ve just ordered the zine and can’t wait to have a proper look at it!
Oh thank you Amy! On both counts there :) I hope you like the little zine, and I am glad this post has offered some morning inspiration! xx
