Inspired by the amazing Elephants and Bee Project I created this piece called “Breaking Down Barriers” celebrating how a simple idea using the power of nature, can create a harmonious relationship between elephants and man.

I was thrilled to work with the brilliant paper artist, Nathan Ward, on the lightbox centrepiece for this year’s Waddesdon Manor’s Christmas celebrations. Designing a 9-layer lightbox with a Peter Pan theme, incorporating the Manor house was so much fun! The design was then enlarged and cut into a massive 1.8m lightbox and will be glowing inside the house at their Christmas celebrations until 1st January 2024

It was so lovely to hear from so many of you, who watched me, and three other paper artists take part in this year’s Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas Papercraft Competition. It was so much fun reliving the fabulous day we had at Christmas HQ and it made me want to do it all over again! Thanks again to the amazing crew at Christmas HQ for making it such a special day.
