Australia - My Way
Australia - My Way
The background hills are the Snowy Mountains, with the lake in the middle of the picture. The mandala moon is the Asian influence. To the right is rainforest, the blue touches are eucalyptus. The lower right middle area is the outback I crossed over as I arrived, with nod to Aboriginal journey symbolism. At the bottom, going left, it transitions into a beach and shoreline, with a representation of corals I saw in The Melbourne Aquarium. Far left hand side is the sea. Going up the left hand side is an aboriginal style lizard, then a gum tree. The sky represents day and night. The flowers flying up into the sky are flocks of colourful birds. The star falling from the sky links to ‘Wishing on a star’ ‘Catch a falling star…. and never let it fade away’ – I will always remember my Australian adventure.

We had a lovely weekend away in Devon and visited Barricane Beach to see all the shells - there are masses of them, most quite small, including tine cowrie shells, which you don't find on very many beaches in the UK.

The Namib Desert
Gavin, my husband, spent part of his early life in Namibia - he calls the desert 'God's Own Country'. I'm not sure that I agree with him about that, but the shapes and colurs of the sand dunes are stunning.

The Green Man - The King of the Summer
The inspiration for this came from a combination of Wimborne Folk Festival, my husband’s hanging baskets and Glastonbury Beltane celebrations.
