Hi there, my name is Samantha, I’m an artist who is inspired by colour, nature the landscape and the environment around me. Be this rural or urban the natural textures of environment really inspire me. I like to take my sketchbook with me everywhere I go so I can snatch a sketch where ever I am at the time....if I'm able to :)
I have studied art history, jewellery design as well as fine art and textile art. I like to recreate texture in what ever medium I use.
Reading is also a big part of my life, something I love to do on pain & fatigue days. I like yo read fiction, natural history & poetry, so I look forward to sharing book hauls & latest reads with you all!!
I look forward to sharing all things art & books with you all.
Thanks for the shoutout Samantha :) I love all the art channels you mentioned too ☺I've always just called Arty Arty - I don't even attempt her real name haha.
I just spotted this, Samantha! Thanks so much for picking up The Frighteners. I’m glad you’re enjoying it, and I appreciate you sharing it, and my channel, with your subscribers. I’m glad to hear the operation went well, and wish you all the best with your recovery.
@FrightfulPodcast I'm really enjoying the book. My husband knows me so well!! Thank you, I'm behaving and taking it very easy!! Can't wait for your next video!!xx
Thank you so much for your comments and thoughts about Alice. She would be thrilled to know you will be reading some of her beloved Agatha's novels. Alice would be amazed at the outpouring of love for her in the Booktube community,she was such an unassuming person and just enjoyed sharing her love of books with whoever found time to watch her videos. Thank you so much Jane ,Alice's mum💔😻
Jane, I am so sorry for you, Jim, and the rest of your family and Alice’s friends and send you all my condolences. Like most people, I was never lucky enough to meet Alice, I only ‘knew’ her through You Tube and Instagram and I had the pleasure of doing a buddy read with her of Three Men in a Boat, but I felt a real connection to her. I was stunned to hear of her passing and I’ve been thinking of her ever since. I can only imagine what those of you who were closest to her are feeling. My thoughts are with you. I’m going to revisit some of her videos where she talks about what is still on her giant bookshelf and get at least one of those books off it for her. RIP lovely Alice and, Jane, Jim and family, take care of yourselves.
@@lynnstewart7034 thank you for your very kind words and thoughts. I am comforted by all the love that the community is showing for Alice and all of us who miss her so so much.
Hello Jane, I was so saddened to hear this news, sending you and your family my love and thoughts at this time!! She always made me smile with her video's, and I like to think she would finally get through her giant TBR where ever she is!! She will be, and certainly is very missed....she touched so many people in the booktube community!! Sending much love to you all right now!!xxx
Thank you so much for your kind words, Samantha. I'm delighted that you enjoy the videos. Your comment about Lionel Fanthorpe made me chuckle. I had a pizza with him once. Thanks again for taking the time to tell you subscribers about my channel. I'm grateful for that.
Hi Samantha! Thank you for sharing this chat. I find the size of that sketchbook actually quite handy and may be easy to fill and just draw anything down. Hope you can will it up this year!💗
Wow, honoured to be mentioned in the same breath as those other artists! I can see some Sandi-esque colours in your caran dache sketch. And, yes, get into collage. It's very soothing and low pressure with great results in a short amount of time. All the best, Debs xxx
I’m so glad you enjoyed Miss Plum & Miss Penny. I hope you love Miss Pettigrew lives for a day, I just love it. There is a film of the book that you may be interested in watching? It’s good but not the book…the book is better in my opinion but still worth a watch
Sorry to hear things are not quite going your way at the moment but fingers crossed things start to turn in your favour soon. Also Persephone books make everything better 😂
