Well, blow me down... 🌬️
I’ve just found out that my way of doing things here at Butterfly's Mind is being held up as the standard for how to run a successful art channel.
Professional experts are actually telling big creators who's channel are 10x bigger than mine to follow the 'BUTTERFLY'S MIND' model—specifically how I use my 'Fold Of Doom' and my Sunday Shorts to help artists. Who would have thought my little studio sessions and quirky way of doing things would be setting the trend for others to follow? It just goes to show that you don't need a massive following to be a leader in what you do!"

Gelli printing shouldn't be frustrating! 🎨✨
If you're new to the plate or have been tempted to hide your prints in a "Folder of Doom," my latest video is for you. This is Part 2 of our beginner series, specifically designed to build your confidence and rescue those "ugly" first layers.
No complicated steps—just real results.

I think we have all hit problems when we first start out on the wonderfully exciting (but frustrating) world of Gelli Plate printing. Here is a short clip of my new video. If you would like the link to the longer version please drop a request in the comments. Thanks 🦋

I uploaded a video - more of a mixed media tutorial rather than a straight forward gelli plate video, last Thursday. Anyway, if you would like to see the longer version I will leave the link in the comments

Thank you to all of you who have supported and encouraged me over the last 2 years since I (with a lot of trepidation) started my Butterfly's Mind YouTube channel. I was a huge departure from the photographic world I lived in for almost 20 years.... but I have no regrets. As long as I can be creative and encourage others to "have a go" I couldn't be happier. Thank you ❤️

I’ve just popped on to my computer with a fresh cuppa, and I had to share this with you all because my heart did a little flutter (could be too much coffee! )
I just noticed that our little YouTube community is exactly 10 friends away from hitting the 3,500 subscriber milestone. I’m honestly so chuffed and a bit overwhelmed that so many of you want to join me for these 'Folder of Doom' rescue missions.
If you enjoy the tips I share here and haven't popped over to the channel yet, I’d be so honoured if you’d help me/us cross the finish line to reach the 3500 mark.
I’ve popped the link to our creative home in the first comment below! 👇
No pressure at all—I’m just excited to keep sharing this 'Results & Recovery' journey with you. Thank you for being the best part of my creative studio! ❤️"

This little bird was a joy to piece together using old Gelli prints, and he found a new home almost as soon as I put him on the table at last years village arts and craft fair. I didn’t film the process, but looking at him now, I think he’d make a wonderful easy to follow video topic. Who else struggles with knowing what to do with their favorite printed scraps? 🦋
