Bespoke pinata portraits, but not at the moment!
A year and a half ago, I realised that I was autistic.
When you’ve spent your entire life feeling different, not really fitting in, and not being able to figure out why, it’s a huge deal.
While I work through everything that comes with the diagnosis, making pinata portraits has had to take a back seat. The mental effort it takes to make one, is just too much at the moment. Now, I'm hoping that that will change as I've got lots of great ideas, but I'm going to have to be patient, as are you. Sorry.
But in the meantime, if you're interested in what I'm up to then please feel free to follow me on Instagram or on here, it would be lovely to connect with you!
