To help me unwind and relax I started making Mandala Stones and they have proved very popular!  People keep asking me for stones for themselves and as gifts for friends and family which I'm really happy to make. Whilst making these stones is good for me it got me wondering if they could be good for others too, and so the idea of asking for a donation for the stones came to life! 

Anyone who knows me knows my big passion is animals and cats in particular are close to my heart. I've always supported conservation efforts of our big cats overseas but when I saw how close to extinction our own UK wildcat is I wanted to support this project.

Raising money in this way will also act as a memorial for our own dear Milo, another cat of mystery and magic.  We found Milo wandering all alone near Hadrian's Wall at just 5 weeks of age and he instantly stole our hearts. There was always a suspicion that Milo might have a little bit of Scottish Wildcat in him somewhere along the lines and his looks certainly fed in to that story!

Sadly Milo was only with us for 2 years - he left us as suddenly as he arrived, leaving a huge hole in our hearts.  Supporting the Scottish Wildcat project seemed like a fitting memorial to such a special cat.  Sadly, there was nothing we could do to save Milo but there is something we can do to save the Scottish Wildcat and, with your help, I hope to raise £500 towards this special project.

Since starting this project my artwork has grown and developed to include beautiful Zen Drawings and other Mandala artwork and I am spurred on, not just by your encouragement but through my wish of saving  these amazing creatures. 

Thank you so much for helping me support the Scottish Wildcat Project
