It would be so so helpful if you could retweet my May botanical illustration & mental health workshop in my previous tweet if you have a few seconds. I've been unable to work since December due to a breakdown (not remotely proud of this) and I'm trying to get back on my feet so if you could RT it would help enormously. I so love teaching people how to draw & how it changes brain biochemistry resulting in better mental health 🌿

I go to an independent shop near my sister, in Pershore. No tape measure. You just stand there bra less and she suss you out. Brilliant.
