The Magical Labyrinth - Book out soon!

Exciting news!! The children's book that I illustrated recently will be out soon. Here is the final cover design. This lovely story was written by Ruth Jacobs Weaver, thanks Ruth for giving me the opportunity to illustrate your beautiful story - I am truly touched. Thanks also go to the publishers - Brolga Publishing.

A delightful children's story that explores the mystery and magic of the labyrinth and fairy land.

As Joel and his mother venture into the forest and walk the winding labyrinth, the fairies are ever watchful that they stay safe and don't wander off the path.

When they reach the centre of the labyrinth, the place where all wishes come true... Can you guess what Joel wishes for?

This beautiful story gently shows how we can all be kind and loving to one another.

Author Information

Ruth Weaver is a first time children's author from Western Australia and currently works as an art therapist. Her interest in labyrinths as a metaphor for life's journey has grown over the years and was the inspiration for this book.

I'll be posting more on the book in coming months. Can't wait to open my box when it arrives!

On my book wish list

Christmas is a good excuse to post about all those things I have been lusting after for ages... On my wish list are...

Handmade Home by Amanda Blake Soule. Because she is the Queen of all things crafty and I love it, or maybe it's Martha Stewart and she is a Princess? Anyway who cares, I want to make a beach quilt.

Taking Flight by Kelly Rae Roberts because I have been reading her blog for yonks, she makes you want to be her best friend. I love her collage style.

Artisan bread in five minutes a day because my sister has this book and swears by their technique. It would be a great gift paired with a pizza stone and wooden pizza scoop.

Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger because I loved her book the Time Travellers Wife.

Wreck this journal by Kerri Smith. Because it looks like fun doesn't it?

On my bookshelves

A few weeks ago I got a copy of Curvy 6. It features a whole lot of my favourite artists including Lisa Falzon, Melissa Haslam and Flossy P, so how could I resist?

I also had a book voucher from Mother's day, so I treated myself to Material Obsession 2 by Sarah Fielke and Kathy Doughty. It is written by the ladies at the local quilt fabric store Material Obsession. I recommend it if just for the beautiful photos, the bright quilts are stunning.

And lastly Paper folded cut sculpted by Florence Temko. I found it in a secondhand bookstore.
