So, i did get something done after all! This is a 16×20″ canvas, painted with black acrylic paint. I got my fantastic plastic, some fibres and gold and silver deco metal, and threw it all onto it and this is what came out!

The Polly Sisters are heading off to a new home today.
Their characters are very different, one is quiet and shy, the other is wild but together they are their own little gang. β€β€β€

Continuing yesterday's introduction....
This is β Polly Star β
Her sentiment ( borrowed from the Coldplay song) says, "Look how they shine for you"
She is also available as a limited edition print and a greetings card.

I was looking through my grid and it occurred to me that all the new people (Hello new people, you are very welcome π) wouldn't actually know what I paint .......
Between book related posts and Christmas fairs it's been a while since I posted a Polly Dolly.
π» So, this is Mabel.π»
Around her painting in tiny letters it says, " Dream your biggest dream every day and one day it will be real"
I could talk about that subject for a very long time, but that's a story fo another day. Xxx
Mabel is available as a limited edition print (framed or unframed) and as a greetings card. Click the image to be taken to.my shop.

Hello hedgehog π¦β€

Thank you to Michaela from 4th class St. John's N.S. in Kenmare.
This is going on my studio wall, it makes me smile every time I see it!
π One year ago today I got to see my book for the first time.π
It has been a great year!
I have had the pleasure of reading to lots of children in the libraries, I've been in the newspaper and @alisontodayfm put my book into her 'Little Reader' goody bags.
Lots of copies have sold, its had lovely reviews and it even won a Next Generation Indie Book Award!! @indiebookawards π
β€ thank you to everyone who has bought a copy (or two), I really appreciate the support.
β€thank you to Steve Lane and everyone at @childs.eye.lp
Being able to say I'm a published author still makes me grin from ear to ear!!
Happy birthday Miss Polly and the Crocodile!! πβ€π₯°
Thank you Ms. Dwyer for bringing 4th class from St. John's N.S. and thank you Breda for such a warm welcome in Kenmare library today.
They were such a fabulous audience with very interesting questions!

There are readings in libraries all over the country this week.

Next month I will be reading at four libraries in Kerry as part of the 'Children's Book Festival'...
There are loads of authors involved, I will be in Killarney, Kenmare, Killorglin and Caherciveen.
I thought it would be nice to have a colouring page to give out, so that's what I'm doing today.....
I have the best job! β€
These may be my favourite thing I've ever made....
πAutumn Stickersπ
For planners, cards, diaries, journals - for anything that stands still long enough π

Thank you to everyone who came to the book reading today. I hope you enjoyed Miss Polly and the Crocodile πππ
Thank you to @kenmareartsfestival for inviting me and @kenmare.ie for taking the photo!
Virg, your @onthevergeonline kimono was much admired!!

For all the people who have asked for a gender neutral baby card, here you are!
Pink for girls and blue for boys isn't everyone's choice - personally I think a baby is something to celebrate in any colour you like, pink, blue, black, white, rainbows with spots on.....
A joy in any colour! β€ππ§‘πππππ€π€π€
