Jenny from South Australia took her set of postcards to school to show her students...for Mother's Day they all made their own 'smallmum" to give to their mothers. Jenny very kindly sent me some photos of the children's art work....
"my mum likes to put the washing on the washing line"
"my mum loves to play checkers"
"lying in bed is a treat for my mum"...I just love the music sheet linen...
I can't wait to hear what the mums thought of them!
Some of you managed to find the second pack of 'smallpeople' postcards in the shop before I had a chance to mention it...there's a pack going off to Switzerland tomorrow and a few already on their way to the US.
If you want to have Violet, Beth, Alice, Charlotte and Yolande live at your house then have a look over
here...
The original smallpeople collages will be in the appleseed shop on Tuesday 15th at 8pm... about 10 are already spoken for but the rest of the crew will be there with bells on..... need to put this one on hold for a little while... as there are a few ideas in the works regarding the future direction of the smallpeople, it seems like a good idea to hold onto the originals for a while longer. I am now looking into the possibility of having full size prints made on archival quality paper as an alternative...will keep you posted. In the meantime if anyone is interested in having a custom made smallpeople collage just drop me a line for the details!
oh that is the sweetest thing!!! i love that you've inspired the kids in this way! xx

Those are just darling... What a wonderful idea. The mothers will surely love them! I can't wait for my set to arrive; I was so thrilled to see some of my favorites in Set B.
Thanks so much!
