I want to thank everyone who sent me such kind comments about my painting; this is all new to me so I really appreciate every single one.
My original painting is 8" x 8"....this book cover is quite small - 5 1/2" square.
If you've got a spare minute, I thought I'd show you some of my lovely birthday presents.......
.......a beautiful gold necklace with a freshwater pearl from my daughter and her boyfriend, a stunning chunky pearl necklace from my mum, a bead for my bracelet from my sister (its almost full now!), and a book (one of the presents from DH).............
.....some gorgeous fabrics, buttons and beads from my lovely friend Dot including 2 hand-made bird beads - just look at that cute little owl! (She also sent me my fabric book back from its trip around the world - I'll show you that tomorrow)
....and last, but not least, yet more luscious fabrics, a bracelet and a delightful hand-made doll from sweet Sesga in Wales.I am so lucky to have such lovely gifts...and wonderful friends.

What wonderful birthday gifts Linda!!
I so admire you painting and now collage of Luana!! You have captured perfectly the vision I have in my mind when I think about that whole period in literature,art, and history. A mystical time of Druids & Camalot, of magic when the human race was young.
