I've been having troubles carrying on with this blog. it's not because of lack of things to share but I find it more and more difficult to be open about my life and work in public, although I truly enjoy it when I read the generous posts of some of the bloggers i follow. shall I switch to tumblr? shall I stop? thoughts please,!
I have some limited edition risograph print postcards, showing a hand painted scarf from ss12, which I will be happy to send you, if you help me figure this one out.

don't stop lulu I think you have a good balance between the work and personal entries, i really enjoy it.. i think one of the challenges with a blog is fighting the self censorship which I think can hinder the process.. i got a blog block for most of last year just through questioning why I was doing it but i am happy to be posting things again and if anyone reads and likes them it's a bonus. Reading the blogs I follow always makes me feel inspired and creatively like I need to get a move on ;-) x
One of the things I enjoy about the blog world is that it gives me the opportunity to connect with designers and makers on a personal level. Hearing about your process and life makes it your work even more beautiful to me, because I find out a bit (or a lot) about where it comes from.
But if you are uncomfortable sharing things about your personal life then I understand that. I don't share much about my personal life on my own blog - I feel a bit funny about it too. Mainly because I have been very sick for a few years and this has dramatically altered the way I live. And I don't think many people find my pain and hardship very fun to read! But when I am better I will share more.
I like (and follow) all different types of blogs, but for designers I prefer something that lends itself to a more personal experience - tumblr doesn't seem so good for this.
I hope that helps you! :)
It's all that country air, turning you into a bumpkin.
Do I get a postcard?

cat, you get one regardless. email me your address. ps what do country bumpkins do with their blogs??
belinda,, thanks for your comment. sorry to hear you are sick! and I agree, when sharing (on blogs or in life) becomes difficult it's often a symptom of malaise rooted somewhere else. (email me your address please!)
tary, I'm enjoying your "in between Inca" posts.
lots of love xx
i love your photos and seeing things from your point of view, milena!
thanks renee, likewise!
I am a country bumpkin and I would agree that is probably the cause...I am so self conscious about sharing personal stuff but it is kinda the nice and real part about blogs like yours.
keep on keeping on! xxxxxx
