Welcome to Brushwood Bramble!

Hello! Welcome! Make yourself at home, maybe grab a cuppa and snuggle into your blankie a bit tighter (it's pretty cold outside right now, I wish I had something warmer myself!) This is just a tiny introduction to my new blog. So far my intention is basically to use it for little thoughts, updates on life, blathering on if I want to, and of course any updates on art projects I'm working on. I have a few ideas I've been considering for a while, and I'm hoping that creating some kind of log might prompt me to actually get started on them. We'll see in any case, haha.

So yes, although the intention so far is for this to be a blog basically for myself, if you'd like to join me for any or all of it, you're more than welcome. Huzzah!

Also, I guess I'll explain the thoughts behind the title of this blog, so I don't forget in the future. I tried to think of things that I really like or that meant something to me, and my mind drifted to an old computer game that I love and adore called The Secret of Monkey Island, and then to the main character from it... Guybrush Threepwood. Taking the last parts of his names gives "Brushwood", which I discovered is actually the name of a paperbark tree that grows right here in South Australia, so it felt appropriate. "Bramble" because this blog might end up as a prickly mess of thoughts and ideas, with the occasional sweet berry being found amongst the thorns. Also it sounded nice together, haha. Not too deep, but there you go.

So... onwards to exploration and personal growth...! :D
