The Cockatoo in the Street Book 2023

December 5th, 2023

The Cockatoo in the Street Book 2023

I am in the process of proof editing my book project for the year - The Cockatoo in the Street! I have two proofs for sale on my Etsy and Ko-fi sites of the 1st edition proofs so far. I have created a dummy proof of a 2nd edition to see how the larger format compares with each page having an image as opposed to the First edition where I have used a slightly different layout. So if you can help me out (Ko-fi is PayPal only) to help with publishing costs and get a signed book, that would help me in publishing upfront costs.
For Ko-fi shop is now available and no memberships necessary. I do have a limited edition PDF portrait format of the book with extra images etc).
Many thanks!
Donna

*FIRST EDITION SOLD SECOND EDITION STILL AVAILABLE.

Reducing folio of alphabets on here FAA

November 20th, 2023

As the alphabets don't get much love in the way of views I will be deleting some of the Australiana letters and the Dragon letters. I tend to buy my own cards for resale or part of my book bundles and the odd print. Thanks for looking at my works. It is very much appreciated. I will be keeping the Dark Angel letters for now.

Book equals sales

Many thanks to the buyers of my South Coast Architecture II book at the Shoalhaven City Regional Art Gallery recently, whom liked the cover image of St.Mary's Star of the Sea Church, wanted to purchase a print to donate to the Parish! Many thanks so much! I often wonder who buys my books where my art is featured and how they relate to the images, and stories I create. So thanks very much!
