Samoen nestled between the mountains

Commission. 'Enchanted Garden' in bell jar

One of my favourite commissions.  Trees and animals and fairy web.  The bell jar comes alive when lit from tiny lights hidden in the book and catches the swarovski crystals hanging from the branches above.

Original antique bell jar and marbled endpaper of an up cycled French dictionary.  Birds are perched or fly to and from the poetry covered trees.

Cat and the fiddle in a pea green (inside) boat with an owl flying to meet him.  A whippet runs along the river to join the boat.  Hard to see but fish leap from the river.
