Ele art

In one week i'm heading off to Thailand for a month to volunteer at 2 Elephant Nature Parks in Chiang Mai and Surin. The parks do amazing work to rescue and take care of these beautiful big creatures and on their website every so often they have an art auction to raise much needed funds to support the parks. The subject of the art works are eles of course and if they're interested i want to donate this illustration to the foundation... so i'll let you all know if and when this piece is put up for auction  and give a link to the site. The parks site is www.elephantnaturefoundation.org where you can foster an ele, donate to the foundation or book a volunteer trip to spend some time with these gentle giants.
see you in a month xx

Saving the Orangs

Australian Orangutan Project do amazing work to help these beautiful but sadly endangered creatures. This is just a basic colouring sheet for their educational program that i did for them as little contribution. You can see what's been happening with AOP and even adopt an orphan orang-utan at http://www.orangutan.org.au/

Recycled hand made parcels



using old sheets of packaging paper, i sewed together these rustic little parcel/envelopes and dressed them up with interesting old stamps. They're a gorgeous way of personalising a card or letter to someone you love by choosing a stamp to suit them.
I had them for sale at a local market but if anyone's interested in buying one please send me an email.

finally beginning to blog

It sure has taken me long enough but finally i am trying out this whole blog thing so many people seem to have under control. Hopefully in the next few weeks you will be seeing sketches, finished illustrations, favourite artists of mine and i do like anything environmentally friendly, so maybe a few good products, recipes, etc that are kind to our planet.
