Hi,

I am a freelance textile designer that loves doodling but would love to be able to draw some detail from life observation.

I am looking for some patient, curious soul to help me learn how to draw from life.

I have dyspraxia, which means that due to mild motor malcoordination I become very impatient when holding drawing tools and end up drawing too quickly.

Also, my mind seems to break up what I see into some kind of visual patterns that are easier for me to take in, but my hand does not follow. I see so much and interpret so much and yet produce very little drawings. I am itching to get it all out and find relief in coordinating my interpretations with my manual and gestural expression on a variety of media.

I would ultimately like to find my own way of drawing from life, I don't need to follow cannon, but I would like to make a connection between my mind and my hand, and that which is being observed, to a certain degree. I would like to harness the dyspraxia and use it to my advantage for a creative edge, rather than going against it.

If you or someone you know is interested in taking up this challenge, drop me a line!

Thanks!

Helena

  Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent.

  Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period 'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.

  Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place it happened more than once and usually late at night.
