You are an incredible artist! And a damn good writer. Defend your time and don’t stop no matter what anyone says or thinks.

Sounds like the mental health nurse, by his own definition. dabbles in arseholery and twattishness.

Maybe he’s gone off to pursue a professional career in pissin people off. I’m sure he’ll go far (away from me I hope)

I think you a wonderful writer but I fear the same applies when telling people you are one of those. Possibly even MORE likely to be told you SHOULD BE A TEACHER. I'm not a teacher, but I teach and I wouldn't wish it on you. I decided a couple of weeks ago that I hate it, I don't like children en mass, only some as individuals, the same as the rest of the humans. I particularly hate parents and they are all insanely dysfunctional when it comes to their offspring who are often quite dim. Haha , sorry, but of a rant popped out there. What I really am is an artist. I do art, I create things that didn't exist before. I love thinking, wandering and making. I do not dabble! How very dare he! I hope someone told him to get a proper job. Maybe he's gone to be a teacher? Serve him right 💀🌚😂🦊🐰😹😹😹

I should’ve said that. Asked him if he needed help getting back into work.

Deb, how romantic to be an artist...and to state, "I'm an artist." I love art, the thought of being an artist...but, alas, I am but a dabbler! I do enjoy my dabbling, though.

Nothing wrong with dabbling!

Hello! Sorry I didn’t link the shop this week because I shut it a few days for half term but it’s here https://champignons.etsy.com

Ravens are £150 at the moment. No worries if that’s too much, I’ll release some singular affordable ravens sometime x

I hope that “mental health nurse” has left to pursue a different career. His “skills” seem to leave a lot to be desired.
