Oh my goodness that necklace is so beautiful. I remember looking at her work when you first posted about the necklace drawing. This story is very special to me so I shall be saving my pennies ready to get my copy as soon as it comes out. Oh and good luck to your daughter with her foundation course, mine has just finished and is hoping to start an illustration degree at BristolUWE in September.x

All my books are for sale in USA, Maggie. The competition may only be in the UK though. Will have to see if the US distributers are up to it. You never know. There may be two.

What a beautiful necklace. It looks like a magical talisman from a story, and so it is. I hope that the book will be available to US readers, as I’d really love a copy. I’ve been enjoying all the glimpses of it you’ve given on your blog. Thank you!

This is such a great idea. Do you remember Kit Williams and Masquerade? What a quest that was. If you go that route I hope no-one turns over your garden in the night. Your friend Hanna Willow makes some exquisite jewelery. In my next life I’m going to take up silversmithing! (Maybe I’ll find a program near OXON this summer)

I love visiting your blog to see the beautiful pictures and the wonderful Welsh countryside. I always mean to comment and to say hello. But the necklace and the wonderful cooker splash back have definitely inspired me to say hi today! How wonderful to see something translated from art to 3d and what a fantastic collaboration. You really are an inspiration. Thankyou

You can see Ireland on a clear day from the top of the hill above my cottage.

That is because this is the ‘after’ photo’. You should have seen the ‘before’. Brave knights indeed. I would rather do battle with dragons ( Although when I say that I don’t mean it as I would rather snuggle down with a dragon and read it a story).

I just need to correct my mistake. You live in Wales. I have enjoyed some wonderful literature situated in Wales. My family came to Canada in the middle 1880′s from Ireland, so I feel a connection to the this amazing part of the world where you are so fortunate to live.
