The Cozy Fest Alert! 🍁☕️Hello friends! As the weather here in the Northern hemisphere turns to dark, cold and COZY, I’m excited to let you know of a new creative bundle I’ve joined this year: The Cozy Fest!
The Cozy Fest is creative bundle which contains a collection of workshops, courses and eBooks that help you slow down, turn inwards, create with your hands and savour the cozy side of life! Perfect for this time of year! ✨🙌✨
Whether you’re an artist, a maker, or simply someone who loves slow, intentional living; The Cozy Fest is for you.
It’s a space to explore, create, and reconnect with what brings you joy.
What I love about this bundle is that you are introduced to a variety of creative disciplines: from art making to sewing & basket making to photography, mosaics and wreath making, it has a little of everything!
And of course, I’m including a class of mine too!
Check out some of the fun projects that are included (see images).
And the class I’m including is of the sweet kitten sitting by the moonlight (called Guiding Light), it gives off such a sweet cozy vibe for me, I thought it fitted this bundle perfectly! meow! This is a full online class, showing you how to draw and then paint this luminous painting.
This bundle, valued at over $1000 USD, is only available to buy for one week at the heavily discounted price of $65 USD.
☞ Buy The Cozy Fest Here:

And another wonderful thing: For every Bundle sold, the organisers of the bundle will donate €1 to One Tree Planted, a non-profit organisation dedicated to global reforestation.
Hope you’ll give it a looksie and sign up my creative friends!
Much Love,
Tam
When You Wish Upon a Star. ✨

Wrote and painted this 3 years ago. Sharing it again as I think it`s so powerful:
"Blink"
It’s over in a blink, she said.
“Swallows stop flying,
if you’re not careful,
if you’re not brave,
if you’re not wispy and grand and dramatic and full of shadow and let it all leak out, like liquid gold.”
Notice.
Every single minute.
Every single fraction of the astounding glory of the moment. Here. Now.
And don’t pretend you can’t hear those angels sing. Like bells, trills, high c’s, harmonies hummed like the sweetest honey.
Every breath is a song. Every tick tock an ocean of meaning, an orchestra of alive vibrancy wanting its way with you, soulfully.
Yes.
You cannot refuse this offer. No is not an option. Jump in with open arms. Swim, fly, cry, run, weep, scream and sing. Let it all happen. Take it all in, before the mighty blink, blinks.
Posting this one again now that I`ve properly scanned it! --> I’ve been playing with chiaroscuro lately — that dramatic dance between light and dark you see in old black-and-white portraits. Never painted just in black and white before (well, a little indigo crept in 👀). I love how moody it feels!
