Behind the Scenes

We’re sharing a first look at our upcoming Cooking & Food colouring book, including draft illustrations, behind-the-scenes details, and a free digital artwork to download.

Every creative journey begins somewhere, and for Willow Lane, it began with this little spring collage painted in a tiny sketchbook many years ago. Today, we’re sharing the first card we ever made as a free printable download — a small piece of our story now ready to become part of yours too.

Before the leaves returned and before spring fully arrived, the ravens came first — carrying twigs through cold skies while the world below them struggled through uncertain days. This is a story about those birds, a new piece of art, and the gentle reminder that hope often arrives long before we recognise it.

After a quiet season, we’re opening the door again. A gentle update on what has changed at Willow Lane, what we’ve been creating behind the scenes, and what may be coming next.

Willow Lane has closed most of its products and entered a new season. Here is why the change happened, what remains, and what we believe comes next.

A behind-the-scenes update on why all Willow Lane shop products are currently marked as out of stock, what’s still available, and what this means moving forward.

An illustrated fairytale about the week Willow Lane almost closed — the Big Bad Wolf, a sudden reprieve, and a hopeful light on the horizon.

Inkalia’s Cozy Edition reverse colouring book has become my new favourite way to relax, draw, and enter a creative flow. Here’s why this simple art book works so beautifully, how it taps into right-brain creativity, and the tips I’ve learned while happily filling its pages through the colder months.
