I love this 😊

jacey16.bsky.social•165 days ago

Yay! I love seeing your photos, always a highlight of the timeline. I'm so happy you're here x

wildekarde.bsky.social•142 days ago

Thank you so much! Looking at your art is like instant therapy.

bookishsam71.bsky.social•164 days ago

That's beautiful, so serene

juliadabbs11.bsky.social•130 days ago

I saw one of your posts some years ago on Twitter . I have a screen shot of the post and the photo of some sweet peas in a vase. It was very helpful to me at the time. Thank you .

tanyashadrick.bsky.social•140 days ago

Hello (over here) Emma - may I add you to my Slow Art starter pack? I know your fine work is already widely known but I’d love to include you in the pack.

silverpebble2.bsky.social•140 days ago

I’d be so honoured Tanya, yes please 🌿

theunhurriedreader.bsky.social•140 days ago

I'm following the pack! ❤️

sharonm.bsky.social•147 days ago

They are beautiful photos. Finding you here is a gift. Be careful with yourself, your time, your energy.

cocozoe.bsky.social•161 days ago

Hi Emma, Just discovered a Feed that you might be interested in trying. It has been established for indie market sales. You can find it with #BlueskyNightMarket or searching for the feed, Bluesky Night Market.

thewatchfulcook.bsky.social•165 days ago

So lovely that you are here, Emma. 🍁🍂🍄

desktophippie.bsky.social•164 days ago

The more I look at that photo the more I love it. That seashell could be carved from sodalite the colouring is so beautiful. And the caramel swirls in the snail shells matching the toasty Earth tones of the feather are so delightful.

beandip101.bsky.social•164 days ago

Lovely!

diego71724.bsky.social•27 days ago

I stumbled onto your feed and I really love your content. This is the kind of stuff I love to follow. Mental health is very important 🙂🙂🙂

kizzia.bsky.social•165 days ago

It’s so lovely you’re here with your beautiful photos. Could I ask you to include alt text when you post them, so blind and partially sighted people can also enjoy them? There’s even a setting that gives reminders to add them:
https://bsky.app/profile/rnib.bsky.social/post/3lawe7fq2o22h

silverpebble2.bsky.social•164 days ago

Of course, I've yet to learn this aspect of the platform but I'm aware it's very important...

kizzia.bsky.social•164 days ago

You are so lovely.

kizzia.bsky.social•164 days ago

I also didn’t see someone else had already mentioned it. Apologies if I made you feel pressured in any way.

silverpebble2.bsky.social•164 days ago

You didn't. It's really ok. That other person wasn't considerate & they stressed me out but you were polite and not remotely bossy.

teakayb.mathsy.space•164 days ago

Decent alt text is also useful for getting your images out there: alt text is included in searches, so if someone's looking for a keyword that ends up in your alt text but not your post text they'll stand a better chance of finding your photo.

sinter-klaas.bsky.social•164 days ago

You are on the nice list Emma. Keep sharing your vibe.

silverpebble2.bsky.social•164 days ago

I ordered the lighter aqua bottle with the posy set; something so very soothing about it.

Hi! Finally got started over here. : )

mirmulcahy.bsky.social•164 days ago

Great to find you here I love your collections and often show them to my autistic daughter

silverpebble2.bsky.social•164 days ago

Oh you do? It's my autistic wiring that drives me to make them I think - arranging things that fell off trees & birds neatly really helps to quieten my noisy anxious brain. 🌿

mirmulcahy.bsky.social•164 days ago

I’m learning so much about it through autistic adults online and what helps and soothes them. She draws digitally - her use of colour blows my mind!

The snail shells made me smile, thinking about the snails that climb the mimosa tree outside my porch when it rains.

suzitarrant.bsky.social•164 days ago

Your images are stunning Emma! I too experience a calming & slowing down looking at pattern and detail. I'm curious to know how you feel looking at a created symmetry image from nature like this? 💚

drjofranklin.bsky.social•165 days ago

You know, it may well be the eye of faith & newness, but it seems to me that photo reproduction & clarity is much better here.

silverpebble2.bsky.social•164 days ago

I think you're right you know - it may be because I haven't signed up for the space pillock's blue tick thing. Ugh, punishment for not helping fund his strident brown nosing of the turmeric tinted t**t.

drjofranklin.bsky.social•164 days ago

No need now! You're clearly getting lots of lovely engagement on here. So good to see & wonderful that new people will benefit from your gloriously uplifting designs.
