🕑 Added 2024-10-13 13:41:40 +0000 UTChi everyone, i hope you’re all doing okay. some photos from the weekend- the pumpkin patch, a really lovely wander around a big cemetery. also a repost of my A5 rings flip through, as patreon seems to have deleted it(?) 🦇💭
the pumpkin patch didn’t feel quite as cosy this year- it seemed to be a lot busier, and the vibe was a bit “off.” definitely not helped by the fact they were playing weird remixes of mid-2000’s pop hits (instead of just popping a halloween playlist on? 🥲) and their scare-fest set up was a lot closer, which is what you can see in the background of the last photo. it meant we could hear all their music leaking across the field (also terrible pop remixes), the screaming, the pyrotechnic explosions, etc. also a lot of light leak! which i think hurt the atmosphere of the evening pumpkin patch event. still got some lovely photos, but we definitely didn’t spend anywhere near as long hanging out and bathing in the ambience as we did last year- it all felt a bit chaotic.
the following morning however, we went for a long walk in a local graveyard, which was really lovely. most of the graves are very old, with names like “constance” and “jeffrey charles” and “alistair.” pretty unheard of in the uk these days 😅
i took a lot of photos on my camera in the graveyard, but it’ll take me a little time to sort through them- will update you once i have 🪦🌱 always feel very enamoured with all the different layers of moss and lichen. a perfect atmosphere restorer after the slightly disappointing pumpkin patch!
i’m not sure what the rest of the month will hold, but i’ll make sure to keep you in the loop as it unfolds. i’ve been thinking about making one long october video, similar to the one from december last year. it just feels a little more manageable than the weekly videos recently- i hope you don’t mind too much.
i'm also aiming to (soon) make a video showing my digital notebook process, so if there’s anything specific you’re curious about, please let me know in the comments! 💭📝
take care and speak soon, friends x
p.s. i've been having some strange trouble with patreon the last few days/weeks- uploads seem to be glitching and failing/disappearing/reappearing at will. i've no idea what's going on, but i am aware it's happening. i've been asked about a few of the freebie posts that seem to have vanished (i can't find them either) and i don't have an explanation. in the next couple of days i'll compile a big folder with all of the existing freebies, that way i can upload it each time there's something new and it'll stay updated and accessible. pls bear with me in the mean time! hopefully one of these days patreon will get its shit together 🥲

The photos are so lovely! I adore the graveyard photos. Have you considered doing a green themed / moss / graveyard sticker sheet? I think that would be adorable as ephemera. Hope you have a great halloween despite the vibe being off 🤍

Hope Patreon sorts itself out soon. Lovely photos and flip, x

That’s really useful to know! 💖 I also think these inserts have the perfect level of opaqueness which I struggle to recreate as well. Haha who knew the grids would be the hardest part! 😂 thank you for the rec! xx

I’m pretty sure all the lines are hand drawn and spaced in her inserts, but if you have a hard time with spacing and stuff, you can use free online grid makers: ex. Incomptech allows you to customize a whole bunch of grids and download the pdfs!

Love a good graveyard stroll😌 thanks for sharing!

It's a shame about the atmosphire of the patch. You still created some lovely autumnal images though and had me wanting to walk barefoot on the moss while I mused over Constance's life :) (such a lovely name). There's something about the colours right now that I haven't noticed in autumn before, everything seems so lush. The grass is vibrant and so are the skys, along with the weather being pretty intense has lead to some wonderfully cozy days. Is it just me or have other people noticed this too? Totally looking forward to the digital process video. I haven't got a clue so hopefully your perspective will give me a better chance of succeding in the future. Thank you. Oh and I kind of think of October as your festive/holiday month, so if you chose to post in November after you've enjoyed the holiday to the full I recon most would just be happy for you :)

I would love to know how you will store your pages afterwards like in future please? What fonts you use please? And what paper you use? Thank you

I'm sorry about the slightly disappointing pumpkin patch. The graveyard pictures do look amazing, like the perfect calm atmosphere. I always visit graveyards when I'm feeling unwell/unsettled and just looking at these pictures calmed me. I hope you'll have a cozy and spooky october. A long october video sounds perfect. ✨🍂🐌

Love this post, especially the graveyard. Reminds me to plan a visit to one of my favourite ones in London: Brompton Cemetery 🪦 also yesss to a long October video! And a big yess to your digital process video, I would love anything you decide to share with us (and maybe this request is a bit simple) but I would really like to know how you make the grids on the personal pages with sizes and lines, etc. I want to be able to design my own but the grids confuse me 🥲 and perhaps how and in what format you save the files too. thank you for all your creations 🖤👻 P.S the moss is wonderful.
