60 hours and I’m DONE !! 🙌🏼❤️

I created this piece after a vision I had during a crystal healing with my brother after suffering with sciatica over the season, hoping to ease the pain abit. I started painting that night while it was still fresh in my mind.

The connection I felt to this piece was unfathomable. Not like my usual bright, neon, chaotic, mixed media works. The patience and precision of each individual dot carefully painted, none touching but close enough, contained in these waves of bigger circles carefully drawn out to specific size, conjoined together.

Made me think about the waves of life we go through. The hardships we face, sometimes feeling like you’re not getting anywhere. Feeling like you’re going round in circles. Learning to be patient. Acceptance. Moving on. Having that belief in yourself. The sense of achievement knowing you’ve kept going, even through all the pain and suffering, somehow it makes it all worth it in the end?

As someone who is go go go all the time, this one taught me a great amount of patience. Being able to step back and look at what I’ve achieved after countless hours spent. Looking at my beautiful artwork made me realise how consumed I am by so much 💩 It’s so important to take some time out and appreciate the beauty that is right infront of us.

Can’t express my gratitude enough being able to share this one with all you amazing souls. Thankyou everyone who has PM’d me about this one already, the love is unmatched ❤️ sorry for the ramble 😜

Another one bites the dust 🧚🏼‍♀️

This little fairy hut is looking for new owners to move into it ✨

Made from @fimostaedtler soft and effect clay, using recycled glass from an old sauce jar.

All designs are 1 of 1 so no design is the same, all handmade with lots of love, passion and care. Adding in those extra fine details to bring it to life 💖

I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I do! Finished this piece last night with major imposter syndrome hating it but after a few kind words to myself today I am super proud how it’s turned out!

Can't believe that @northantsrutlandos is over for 2026! It was great to see so many at the awards ceremony yesterday. We were lucky enough to do two awards for artists and met them both for the first time yesterday.

Congratulations to @hc.creative__ and her amazingly creative and colourful ideas that made her pieces stand out and Emma Turner who's beautifully colourful mosaic hare stood out in the exhibition. We're really looking forward to seeing what you both come up with for workshops.

We loved so many pieces and there was such a great range of art styles and media, we have no idea how everyone comes up with them! We can't wait to see you all next year and do it all again 😁

What a lovely day to end the @northantsrutlandos open studios event!! Weather was perfect and everyone was out in full force. Always a pleasure and an honour to be included every year and to see so many amazing pieces of art from some very talented local artists 🎨

This year we had our own @hc.creative__ win an award in her first year ever entering!! So if you need any advice when you come to the shop we can now refer you to our award winning artist for guidance 🙏

Congrats to the winners of the 3 prizes we give out every year.
@sam_brockway , Ian Luck and Esther Ross

Thank you Katie and team for organising the whole thing and smashing it every year!!

We will be posting how we frame our mini masterpieces 🖼️

A few weeks ago @ketteringstreetart got in touch and asked if I wanted to paint a mural on pebbledash, something I’ve never done before and I thought how hard can it be?

Created a block colour, crisp and bold design ofcourse! Spray paint didn’t arrive on time, decided to improvise my design abit (when you realise what a nightmare pebbledash is…), the rain decided to join as I was doing my last little details 😂 a great experience nevertheless!

A wonderful opportunity working alongside some fantastic artists - @darkbloomcollective @ithinkjodiemadeit @emilykayeillustration @_terry_draws check out their work ! 💘

Big special thanks to Daisy & Sally for organising this and doing all the important things to make this happen! 🫶🏼 taken in Kettering, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom by @hc.creative__

Yesterday 5 incredible artists came to Kettering to paint their wonderful pieces on the walls of the alley.

The September sun came out for us and even some tricky pebbledash couldn’t stop this lot, aren’t they amazing?! We’re so lucky to have these artworks gifted to us and thanks to the many, many passersby who stopped to chat and say how much they loved the art - we really appreciate you!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the artists -

Last (but absolutely not least) up for our artist reveals is Holly of @hc.creative__ 🌻

We were super drawn to Holly’s bold abstract compositions and her striking use of colour. We also love her floral work; that she is currently exhibiting at @northantsrutlandos and that she is also part of the framing fraternity at @zanart_framing right here in Kettering.

Can’t wait to see that bold colour brighten up the alley! taken in Pleasure Park by @hc.creative__

Tiles of Lisbon 🇵🇹

Had the pleasure of spending a few days in this beautiful place bimbling around, taking in my surroundings and feeling so inspired by what this place has to offer.

I’ve been so go go go this last year with work, opportunities and general life admin it’s nice to get a break and just take in what’s around me!

Now on route to Aljezur for a few days to spend time with some really amazing friends ❤️ taken in Lisbon, Portugal by @hc.creative__
