Mother and babyalmost about to be finished

These three polar bears have a very special meaning to me as they were made during a very difficult time, saying good bye to my father from far away. He was so closely connected to all about nature, forrest, plants and flowers, and especially animals. He was a very good painter and did beautiful animal drawings that inspired me in childhood to start to do drawing as well.

to replace his poor brother who was eaten by a dog... hopefully he will be save

My first market 'for real' was a great success. Thank you very much to the wonderful organisation team Sonia Teixeira and Margarida Cavaleiro from Moncarapacho.

I would like to pass on the nice compliments I got for my work to this unique material that lovely sheep provide to us. Especially in a lot of children eyes I could see the magic of this wool.
With the time I would like to share the enormous variety of use that this material can bring, really stunning what is possible to create with the simple raw hair of sheep.

For me this passion runs in the family at least since my grandmother who is about to become 98 soon. She was telling me a few weeks ago that during war times they had two sheep and did a lot of things with their wool, from turning it to yarn up to fillings for the blankets.....was just a natural part of life.

My mother would always become quiet as a baby once she would be wrapped in wool and this went on to me. Nothing else warms you up so good like pure wool. 

Unfortunately I couldn't get enough new production together to participate in the next market at Gecko´s Garden Saturday 8. of Dec. in the afternoon and Sunday 9th of Dec. from 10 to 15.00, N 125 Alfandanga
