Sally Kindberg and islands
Islands are like magnets to me. Some I’ve visited because I was commissioned to write about them, or run workshops on them, others simply because I was curious. Sometimes my notes stay in one of my drawing books, biding their … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg and exercises
Cold/stormy/apocalyptic weather conditions mean you may have to give up on your usual exercise regime. If you have a home, chair exercises can be rather exhausting, especially if the chair is heavy to lift off the ground. I’m now developing … Continue reading
Sally Kindberg and more notes for Stranger, a graphic work in progress

This seems to be a recurring theme (far too often?) in notes for my graphic mystery/memoir. From the age of three I occasionally stayed at my grandmother’s house in Nottingham, periods coinciding with my mother disappearing, then turning up with … Continue reading
Sally Kindberg’s notebook selection 2021 so far …
A few notebook pages, roughly in chronological order, sometimes reflective, often to do with journeys, and the use of Pritt Stick usually obvious. Cutting out and sticking is such a delight. Occasionally content will find its way into a … Continue reading
Sally Kindberg at the Eye Clinic
More notebook pages, this time about my latest visit to the eye clinic. I’ve added the little eye card which I acquired some years ago when briefly visiting a religious cult in Canada. Loved the card but didn’t join as … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg goes exploring (kind of)
