In reply to Neet Hickson.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it Neet, it means a lot to me. I do not often share things like this. In fact online I only share a fraction of what I create, like life it just happens and then we move on… but I will hold your words and see if in the future I can think and maybe share another page within one of my many rag books.
I’m a very lucky gorl to have been part of this year Quirky Dutch Summer.
Creative Hugs Tracey xx

In reply to Tracey. Oooh, I love that idea Tracey! We could use the beach huts as mini studios!

Just had to pop over to see this beauty come to life. I’m not surprised Marit loves your work so much it’s just her sort of thing. As always the face is so perfect and the fabrics have come together by your creative hands to produce a fantastic luscious and inspiring piece. I am sending you extra big hugs. Angela xXx

I know you are mega busy Tracey but when you have time can you do another of these for us to look at. it is truly wonderful and my head is whirling thinking about all the different things you have done to make this such an enjoyable blogpost. From the beautifully painted face, which I know from past work you excel at, to the wonderful textured hair you captivated me. But there are so many other elements – the sand of the beach, the beach huts (who would have thought of using a napkin as a basis for them) the jewelled sun which shines so brilliantly for us all to see. Every single bit of this project held me in its clutches. Thank you so much for sharing such talent with Marit so that she could share it with a much wider audience.
hugs, Neet xx

In reply to Anne R. Anne you are ever supportive, I am so thankful for that. It was a brave move for me to share this piece as we all need to keep a little of ourselves just for us. So glad you enjoyed it xx
