Tamalia Reeves BA (Hons) Art
📻🥳Happy Monday everyone...hope you enjoyed t 📻🥳Happy Monday everyone...hope you enjoyed the snowy weekend and had lots of wintery fun! 
.
I’m (Tamalia) very excited this particular Monday as I’m going to be interviewed on Marlow FM about my creative journey and how MADEbyTamalia Art, Craft & Lifestyle Studio came to fruition.
.
Professional storyteller and amazing presenter of Marlow FM’s ‘Finding my voice’ Stacia Keogh @storystacia will be interviewing me from 2-3pm today! Although I had a short but fab time on BBC Berkshire a year ago, I’ve never been properly interviewed. I’m generally an incredibly private person and so you don’t often see much about me on social media. It doesn’t come naturally to ‘share’ details about ME or my journey. However I have this brilliant  opportunity and am so delighted to be asked, so am going to embrace it. I’m so honoured that Stacia has asked me to be on her show and I’m also hugely grateful to the wonderfully talented and kind @rhianekirkby who has helped connect us. 🙏 
.
Wish me luck and hope you can join us on @marlowfm 97.5 from 2-3pm today!
.
Have a fab day!

Well now that was a lovely surprise to wake up to Well now that was a lovely surprise to wake up to today! Beautiful fresh, crisp, thick snow...and did we take full advantage of it! ❄️ 
.
After a very competitive snowball fight we set to work on our giant snowman! ⛄️As we like to be a bit different we opted for a banana 🍌 nose instead of the regular carrot - so all snowmen know they are loved no matter what differences they might have !🥰❤️❤️❤️
.
After some rather gorgeous snow angels and a bit of burying children in the snow -not our idea and definitely not for the faint hearted,🤣It was definitely warm baths all round.
.
My afternoon concluded with a lovely peaceful walk in the snow with a very good friend, to take in the other gorgeous snowman (or snow families in some cases) creations. What a simple but absolutely lovely day we’ve all had!

How ingeniously lush is this product! These beauti How ingeniously lush is this product! These beautiful pencils ✏️ contain seeds 🌱 so that when you’ve finished using your pencil you can pot up 🪴 your pencil and watch it come back to life as a little plant.

My seed selection is Basil 🌿 , Sunflower 🌻 and sage 🍃 

A big thank you to one of my clients @clerkenwelltiles for sending me a set of their gorgeous pencils. I can’t wait to get sketching and so excited that once I’ve worn them to the nib, I can then plant into my terrazzo eco-resin planters. Genius!

Paintings ravaged by wildlife, melted canvas and works of art decaying in nature. These beautiful works of art are by the very talented artist Valerie Hegarty and evoke feelings of sadness and curiosity all at the same time. They speak of fractured American history, of decaying society, of climate change and cultural change. Many of the themes we can sadly see today, not just in America but worldwide.
.
Yes it’s not necessarily the happiest of subjects to post today but art has a way of speaking where words can’t always. We can still appreciate the beauty and passion in a piece of work without taking on the emotion behind it.
.
Remember through adversity always lies opportunity

Happy New to you all. 🎉🥂As I (Tamalia) sit h Happy New to you all. 🎉🥂As I (Tamalia) sit here with my cup of tea, reflecting on this last year and writing my plan for 2021, I feel quite emotional at the level of support and encouragement we have received from you all over 2020. We can’t thank you enough 🙏❤️- It is appreciated more than than you know! 
.
For any small business these times are challenging but having only opened October 2019 and then being shut most of the 2020, it has definitely been a huge challenge to navigate for our new business. 
.
However we have so many exciting plans to share with you in 2021. We can’t wait to put them all into action as soon as we’re able. More information coming soon!
.
In the meantime we wish you all a very happy and healthy 2021. Keep safe, stick together (socially distanced obviously 🤣), and stay positive. We will get through this! 
.
We very much look forward to getting arty with you all again as soon as we can.

So as we approach the final hours of 2020 it feels So as we approach the final hours of 2020 it feels a little bitter sweet. Normally New Year is about celebrations and looking forward to a new start with new adventures and new opportunities. 
.
After this year though there are many of us probably not going into 2021 with the same excitement. However there is light, we have already individually and together shown tremendous strength in the face of adversity. We may not be dancing into 2021 but we will damn sure be fighting!!!!!
.
Whatever your plans are this evening remember just to enjoy the little things. Good things are around the corner. We will all be ok. Stay strong lovely people and wishing you every happiness and success for the new year!

I attended the immersive event in the Forbury Gardens and Abbey Ruins just before Christmas with my friends - and wow it as beautiful! A huge well done to @zsuzsilindsay and the arts and culture team @livingreading
