👻✨ Another spooky design ✨🎃

Nothing says Halloween like a cute little ghost, a glowing jack-o’-lantern, and some autumn magic 🍂🪄
I had so much fun sketching this cozy Halloween scene — witchy hat and all! 🧙‍♀️

My daughter loves Halloween so our house is already decorated!
What’s your favorite part of Halloween? 👻🕸️

Love this time of year, it always gives me lots of inspiration. 🍂🕸️🌰

What is your favorite time of the year?

Thinking of creating some pieces again 🤔 what would you like to see? Maybe something from the past, or perhaps something new? 🤷

🧠 Confidence is a skill — not a personality trait.
And just like any skill, it can be taught, practiced, and strengthened.

So many children enter secondary school believing they either “have it” or they don’t. But the truth is, confidence isn't something you're born with — it's something you build.

✨ That’s exactly what we do in my 6-week Year 6 Transition Course.

Through creative sessions, we help children:
✔ Develop a confident inner voice
✔ Practice social skills in a safe space
✔ Learn how to handle nerves and uncertainty
✔ Celebrate what makes them unique

📚 Whether your child is quiet, anxious, or just needs a gentle boost — this course is designed to support them emotionally before the big leap into Year 7.

🎨 Delivered in small groups or 1:1
📍 Timetable-friendly for schools or families
🗓 Weekly or intensive options available

📩 DM me “CONFIDENCE” to learn more or reserve your child’s place.

Over the next month or so I will be transferring over to a new page that is more in line with my new focus as a holistic integrated creative arts practitioner. I understand that many of my followers on here joined this page to purchase the products I once made (with the wood monkey 🐒!)
However, if you, family or someone you know feels stressed, stuck, burnt out, anxious, dealing with grief, looking for connection or just needs some general self care and wishes to use the arts to address this then please give my new page a like, follow, share and keep updated ❤️🙏

My new page is https://www.facebook.com/share/1BJVbSUYkJ/

Please see pic for my new 6 week course available to year 6 pupils or please pass on the information to someone you know who may be interested 🙏

As you will know I have worked with clay with a long time now and the main reason I've been drawn to it is the way it makes me feel. Moulding and sculpting is a full sensory experience. The squeezing and pressing to shape it allows you to alleviate tension. The possibilities are endless and tap into your imagination. And best of all it's not permanent - squashing it can be very liberating 🥰
