Look at these gorgeous limited edition microchaps! Kym has done an amazing job and I’m so grateful! @kymdeyn.bsky.social 💚🌱💚

New Braag micros up at thebraag.co/shop/ 🌸 Lavender Hill by Lauren Thomas looks unflinchingly at the natural world and the darker side of female experience. 🦠 Little Book O’ Moss by @corinnaboard.bsky.social is a bright glimpse into the miniature world of moss.

‘Mædwe’, the new pamphlet from @corinnaboard.bsky.social, breathes shimmering new life into the familiar sights and sounds of the meadow. I particularly loved the skilled and sensitive use of form in this gorgeous little collection. Highly recommended! @salopress.bsky.social
