Time to
time I have donated something I have made to a charity.
I was happy to donate a line drawing.
Camille came up with the idea of a colouring Book for Adults with 100% of the profits going to
Heart and Lung Transplant Trust (Victoria) Inc
I donated an a4 page of Russian Doll Babushkas', yes, my own original artwork!
It's wonderful to be able to contribute to such a worthy cause.
The artwork was created in Adobe Illustrator.
Many other wonderful artists have contributed creative artwork in their own unique style, for the book.
The final result is amazing.
also.....Thanks to Cam for all of her hard work.

Coloring books for adults have become
wildly popular as grown ups seize on the therapeutic benefits of this
simple form of artistic expression. Adult coloring books provide an easy
creative outlet, a simple way for busy adults to unwind — and unplug.
Coloring books are a way for adults who don't normally draw or paint to be creative. Coloring in seems to help people think about a time when life was simpler and more carefree.
"Some of Australia's biggest companies are buying colouring books for
adults in bulk to help staff handle the stress of the modern workplace.
Amid claims that Australia is facing a mental health epidemic,
Melbourne neuropsychologist Stan Rodski says the simple act of colouring
can change brain behaviour and help workers achieve calm and balance".

"This money will go directly to the Second Chance Accommodation Project
which subsidises the cost of post transplant accommodation for country
Victorian and interstate heart and lung transplant recipients at the
Alfred Hospital in Melbourne"
