Words really can't describe just how proud and amazed I feel.  Prims is a beautiful magazine dedicated to bringing together like minded artisans from all parts of the globe, even the tiny island of Tasmania. My donkeys are in such wonderful company, Kristen Sunby and her glorious Canfolk, Karen Brady Hammontree and her colourful French fashion bears, Lorraine Young from Cornwall, England with Mr and Mrs Green...and so many, many others!
All the donkeys featured in the article,have all but sold except for Jeff , second from the right, he is waiting in my etsy shop.A big thank you to everyone who has bought my work over the years and supported me no my blogs!

 Hope After The Fires, $150.00

A little painting I made during the devastating bush fires around Tasmania. We've had quite a few spot fires near us and this summer I've never felt so on edge about the potential of fires on our property. We are well prepared but with no rain for months and the surrounding grasslands very dry, I'm really looking forward to winter!

Sunflowers, $150.00

it has been good weather for sunflowers which grew well this year in our garden.

sunflowers really are the essence of summer,

New cotton reel folk, a lot of fun to make!
