Story

Over the past few months I have spent many hours creating pictures using beach treasures I have collected from island beaches. I've given a fair few away as gifts and received some lovely comments. It's made me think, maybe I could do a little more with the pictures and pass on the benefits to two charities very close to my heart: Cancer Research and Ability Dogs 4 Young People.

I have two pictures ready to go and can 'open the books' to make some more. They take a while to make so I'd like to start with (hopefully!) 3 orders at a time - with the huge assumption that somebody may actually want one! I am happy to then make a reserve list and plod through as I can.

Each picture is unique but based around these designs:

- branching circle (an idea I got from online, not created in my brain)

- solid circle

- space circle

- musical line (you choose the song)

- letters/numbers (you choose)

- Isle of Wight (haven't done these for a while but happy to do them again)

- or.....reserve a picture and receive a mystery design

The frames are 18cm square.

Each picture is a suggested donation of £10 (but feel free to donate more!), to one of the charities or split between the two.

Thank you. It would be lovely to raise a bit of money for some very important charities and I get to enjoy the tinkering along the way.

I wonder who will be the first three (or first one!).
