My friend bought one of my scarves as part of the Artists Support Pledge , you can read about it at the bottom of this blogpost. She posted a photo of herself wearing it on Instagram. I loved the photo so I printed it out , doodlebombed it and posted it to her. I’ve asked other friends to send me photos to do as well.

Someone in a Facebook group said “Have you heard of “Mail Me Some Art” ?” and I had not, but I have now.
They have a blog
I signed up for it and have joined in my first swap which is on the theme of “Ascemic Writing” which I knew little about, but learnt from this blogpost
