@essoldodesign: As we head into 2026 it’s lovely to look back and reflect on an action packed year, with many highs (and a few lows!) but mainly I feel so thankful to everyone that’s been a part of my journey in the last 12 months, THANK YOU! ♥️ January - Starting off my first year as a full-time artist with a photoshoot for my watercolour & mixed media book! Feb - Seeing my designs on a deck of cards and having my work auctioned in aid of the @tlc_art_auction March - A month of fabulous travel, first stop Morocco with @wanderingwomenretreats and then teaching in the Maldives at the glorious @GrandParkKodhipparuMaldives April - Celebrating the start of spring with the lunch of my new collection with @Windham Fabrics , before heading off to my newest workshop venue, the beautiful @larkswold May - Featuring in the press is always a dream, thank you @InHerStudioMagazine (a real pinch me moment!) June - Beginning to work with my favourite pen brand @Tom’s Studio as an ambassador! July - Getting inspired by visiting Copenhagen, and then seeing my book in the @royalacademyarts @royalacademyarts shop! Aug - Another amazing retreat in Greece, and the publication of the French edition of my book with @les_editions_de_saxe Sept - Visiting a trade show, seeing my cards, and planning a new collection with @woodmansternecards Oct - The publication of my second book two with @David & Charles & the launch of my 2026 calendar Nov - Being creative and experimenting with preserving leaves in glycerin (and then collaging them!) Dec - Etsy orders take over my studio, before starting to wind down after a busy year and starting to plan and write book three! Plus plenty of festive fun, food & friends! So, 2026 plans, what should I do next? 🤔
