4 months of stickers 😊 there's something about watching my notebook fill up with these as I design my mail club every month. It makes my brain happy. ❤️ Tell me your favourite one in the comments? Also, got a cutting machine, so more exciting stickers shapes are on the way!

You scroll past a million things a day that you never see again, right? Things that *stay* are important. Running the Dare to Hope mail club for the past 3 months has got me thinking about post. I send envelopes full of hope all over the world. And they *stay*. And that's good.

Colours that give me hope, part 2, ultramarine! A colour that comes out of its many trials warmer, softer...and representing the bisexuals. 🩷💜💙 Both inspiring and kinda relatable :P Like thoughts like this? My hopeful snail mail club is colour-themed this month,

Ellie Sparrow Art @elliesparrowart.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

This is probably the nerdiest video I've ever made. I'm *such* a nerd for colour, you've no idea. I genuinely find endless hope and beauty in how in pigments dance. I'm so nerdy in fact, that I've themed the Dare to Hope Mailclub around colour this month,

I dare you to hope 🔥♥️ Why is it a dare? Because a dare implies it's both difficult and brave. But I wouldn't dare you to do something *impossible*. There's no fun in an impossible dare. That'd ruin the game. So...I dare you ♥️

Sometimes a tiny dose of love comes in a golden letter from overseas. Thank you, @elliesparrowart.bsky.social !

An ode to messy desks ♥️ I see a lot of very aestheticy workspaces from artists on here, but mine...is not like that. I was self conscious about that at first, when I started making packing videos and the like. But I realized...I don't actually *want* to make it like that.

Announcing the theme for month 2 of the Dare to Hope Mail club! 'See the colour....and the black.' There's an idea that in order to hope, one has to turn away from the darker parts of life and only look at the brighter ones. In reality, I think real,
