Wow!
That has been one amazing year on Steemit! I can't believe how quickly time has flown by, and that this time last year I was a newbie starting out on Steemit.
In November I met a lot of very cool people at SteemFest in Amsterdam. I did yoga with @everlove and @saramiller, though I will never be as flexible as either of them! I hung out with @michelle.gent, @s0u1, @prufarchy and @meesterboom. Discussed art and cheese toasties with the amazing @fairytalelife, and I had the opportunity to chat to @neilstrauss and @ericvancewalton! I gave out a lot of art, and made a lot of art while I was there too!
'Monsieur Fraise' a strawberry themed skull requested at SteemFest by @fairytalelife
Oh, and yes my plane tickets are already booked for SteemFest 2017, and maybe there will be a bit of artwork making its way to Lisbon too!
Our community of artist has grown and we have made some amazing work through collaborations. I've always been into collaborating with others and getting other people involved with my artwork from very early on, but it was my friendship with @everlove that really took these collaborations to another level.
'Madame Kali' is one of the early pieces I made with @everlove, my creative Steemian friend!
And finally, the image below is one of the first large scale pieces that I made on Steemit last year. I hadn't been on Steemit very long and I was still getting a feel for what the site was about. The biggest things that still stand out to me on this piece is the two figures at the bottom that represent connections and the community, and the other is the light bulb representing new ideas. These two things are still huge motivators for me on Steemit, it is a fantastic community and I've made some great Steemian friends over the last year!
Here's to another great year and Steem on!
Congratulations! :d
Good luck and have fun in the upcoming steemit year! :)

I saw @saramiller post about tree pose yesterday - and something flipped inside me (metaphorically, ha-ha:). I failed to do yoga for already 6 months or so, have to go back:)

Congrats on your first year on Steemit! I don't think I'll be able to make SteemFest this year, but hopefully when I make my 1 year post 10 months from now I would have earned enough to get a ticket for the next festival!
Looking forward to your future posts highlighting your favorite pieces of work you've created over the last year!

I realised that a lot of new folks would haven't seen some of my older work and my blog is quite long to work through- so I have been busy curating my favourite pieces. I hope to share soon.

Congratulations on a great first year on Steemit! I appreciate you answering my questions about your process and objectives for different pieces that you've shown here on Steemit - and all your art made of natural materials from #foraging! I'd especially like to see a recap or collection of your art from nature over the past year! I appreciate, too, that you have a big job ahead in going through all your posts! You are such a consistent creator here on Steemit! Have a great next year!

One year is an impressive milestone. You have been through quite a few ups and downs on this platform in regard to the platform as a whole. Isn't it crazy when you have one year on a platform and you are considered to have seen the "old days", lol.
Here's to the next ten!
