July 2026's mail out was about blooming in the middle — not the beginning, not the end, but the stretch where the actual changing happens. I hand-painted this month's postcard for the first time, straight from a flower sketch, and turned a sketchbook drawing into a full sticker sheet instead of my usual 3x3. I almost didn't. My ADHD does this thing where I avoid anything I'm afraid I'll be bad at, and I sat on that blank postcard longer than I want to admit. The Bloom Issue ended up being about trying the scary thing anyway — the one you've been putting off. Hi, I'm Vanessa. Once a month I write a letter and send a small body of work I've been making — slowly, by hand, from inside my own coming back to the joy of making. If you've been missing making things too, this one is for you. This is an archived issue with a limited number left. Once they're gone, they're gone. Each parcel includes: ✉️ A letter — what I'm exploring that month, what's working, what isn't 🎨 An exclusive \ art postcard of this month's work (5×7, frame-ready, never sold separately) ✂️ A full flower sticker sheet, straight from the sketchbook — for the page, the laptop, the water bottle 📋 A habit punch card to try one small creative practice with me 🎵 A QR card with the playlist I made the art to 🍑 The Postmark — a digital surprise on ship day (phone wallpapers + a rotating extra)
