FEATURE - Kitty Gallannaugh

When I first set eyes on Kitty Gallannaugh's beautiful photographs, I became instantly hooked and have followed her work ever since. At just 21 she has already achieved so much and is forever working hard on projects and following her dreams. Her photographs and stories exude an ethereal dream-like quality you can so easily get lost in and her kind-hearted personality shines through each and every piece of work as though part of her soul.
I have watched Kitty's work flourish into instantly recognisable works of art and will always turn to her portfolio when I'm feeling uninspired. She puts so much of her time towards helping others and interacting with her followers - her 'army of dreamers', and I'm truly grateful to her for sharing her vision so openly. Read on to find out more about Kitty and to see some of her amazing photographs!

Overcoming the Dreaded Creative Block

Feel all inspired, sit down to do something and then draw a total blank? You're definitely not alone! I've suffered from artist's block ever since I can remember. It almost always ends with me waiting until the very last minute to get something done, and even then things only ever happen because they HAVE to be done. But procrastination is obviously not always practical when you have deadlines to meet. So what can be done to prevent creative block from taking over far too much of your valuable time?

Crafts for Charity

Many of you will already know of Crafts for Charity, but if not, here's a low-down on what it's all about.

a non-profit online craft directory to help you find the perfect gift, inspiration, or if you love browsing, then it's a great place to start!

The way the site works is as follows. List your own website or etsy/misi/folksy shop or even your blog or craft classes and in return, donate as little or as much money to charity as you wish. Simple.

When I listed my print shop I couldn't find the perfect charity that I wanted my money to go to, but Crafts for Charity were more than willing to add the charity I wanted into their list for me.

At this point in time Crafts for Charity has 90 fabulous listings and I'm really hoping more and more people will list their websites on this wonderful directory because you can be certain that your money goes directly to the charity of your choice.
