Ps. that Belt as a closing mechanism was so creative!

[@MelanieChadwick]

Ah thanks Kriksis and for your visits and meet ups over the month. Yes that belt was so fun to see- maybe should be adapted by other farmers!

The great outdoors xx. Thank you a real treat

[@MelanieChadwick]

[@HelenHobden]

Another stunningly beautiful video Mel! I'm sorry I wasn't able to come to your Open Studios after all. We're finally making it down to Cornwall the week after next, and after seeing all your amazing shots of the great outdoors, I'm really excited for it!
How exciting to be on Songs of Praise! xx

[@MelanieChadwick]

Sorry to hear you couldn't come down Helen then but exciting to hear you're going to be coming in the next week or so, hope you have a wonderful inspiring time too!

[@thebirdartistscottage]

I am so happy for you and your interview with Songs of Praise! I find this especially inspiring as I am also a Christian and have been asking myself how to integrate my faith into my art practice. Thank you for the beauty and light that you bring to us here and on your Substack. 💝

[@MelanieChadwick]

Thanks so much and glad to hear, hope it's of some help x

[@WendiWells]

Oh thank you Mel! ❤ Another beautifully created video! I’m so excited for you and the opportunity you have working with Songs of Praise! What a unique and fantastic way to inspire and witness 🙌 It does my heart and soul good to know that such a wonderful thing is happening in the world.

[@MelanieChadwick]

Thanks Wendi for your lovely comment and encouragement x

[@Beadseller]

Such a beautiful video! Wonderful way to start my day. I feel inspired to create! I hope we get to see your interview about the church and your faith.

Lovely video, hope all goes well with your new venture 😊

[@MelanieChadwick]

Thanks Linda 😊

[@sarahlucas1999]

Such a lovely video. You're so lucky to be able to walk through fields like that, it's a lot different in Ireland for roaming access. Looking forward to hearing how your interview goes on Songs of Praise :)

[@MelanieChadwick]

Glad you enjoyed it, I'm not sure if we were meant to be roaming around that field either! But we found our way to the top of the hill! :)

[@deeanncross7674]

I loved this wonderful video. Nice to see Kriksis, too. I spotted her new Peg and Awl travel roll. Will your interview be available for viewing or listening? Thanks so much.

[@MelanieChadwick]

Thank you. If all goes well and the interview gets accepted onto the show then you should be able to watch it on TV. I will keep folk posted.

[@Purpleladybirdart]

Lovely vlog and nice to see Kriksis. Thank you for sharing your insights, I have those same thoughts sometimes. Love the postcards and Somgs of Praise! Wow! Keep going - you are inspirational. 🙏💜

[@paulineshelley4421]

Thank you for this lovely calming video. Each of your little sketches and creations is like a seed. Nothing is wasted. I’m look forward to hearing how your interview with Songs of Praise goes. 😊.

[@MelanieChadwick]

Thanks so much 😊 I like that analogy of planting a seed of creativity. The more you plant, the more opportunity for harvest.

[@karenjacobs3775]

What a beautiful, thoughtful ‘kind of post card’ (concluding with ‘by for now’) you gave us, thank you so much. I love this. I love your work. Keep walking the path less traveled. In spirit - and sometimes in drawing - I travel with you.

[@MelanieChadwick]

You are so welcome and I like how you termed it as a post card. Thanks for your thoughtful comments.

[@terriponcelet2169]

The Great Outdoors - lovely, thanks for sharing.

[@MelanieChadwick]

My pleasure 😊

[@roxanameaney911]

Thankyou Mel. Your journey and faith has been such an inspiration to me. Thanks to you I look at my own sketches and Plein Air pieces with much more pride, making my repeated practise easier , more frequent, more determined and fun.

[@MelanieChadwick]

Wonderful to hear, and glad you're finding your own sketching time more fun.

[@susanmolinari2348]

Thank you for taking us along. It was a lovely journey!

[@MelanieChadwick]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@susiespratt6516]

It'll be really interesting to learn how your faith impacts your creative life. So glad Songs of Praise found you! Lovely video.

[@susano1450]

Best avoid religious beliefs, very private. No need. This is nature, our universe. Please.

[@circumboreal]

What was the name of the artist and friend you visited at the gallery at Roskilly’s, please? Subtitles didn’t catch it, but her daily sketchbook of animals was lovely! Great video as always, Mel.

[@MelanieChadwick]

Link to her channel is in the description-her name is Kriksis, thanks!
