9-15 December 2023 - Charity Raffle for "Los Intrepidos"
I'm holding a charity raffle which is very dear to my heart - my husband, Enrique Flores, is currently in Mexico to climb the third highest peak, Iztaccihuatl (17,760ft). The expedition is planned for 14-15 December 2023.
Enrique is raising money for World Villages for Children, an amazing charity he has supported for most of his life.
The raffle will remain open until Enrique completes the climb, and I will announce the winner on Saturday 16 December on Facebook and by email. For full details of how to take part, click here.

From January 2021, I've been putting all my live video chats and short stop-motion films on YouTube, as well as Facebook. There are just over 20 videos uploaded now, so I thought it was about time that I let you all know about it!
Everything you ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask...
I have just updated my FAQ page! I've been keeping this page for several years, based on questions I often get asked. There's lots of information in there, if you haven't come across it before.
And if you have a question that isn't answered there, do drop me a line and I'll add it to the list.
New collaboration launched
I'm delighted to announce the launch of a wonderful collaboration with Tara Slater of The Lesser Spotted Kiwi! Tara has created this beautiful illustration which captures everything that Quernus means to me :) We have created a special edition collectors' set (pictured) which includes a signed edition of the print, a Chick Magnet made by me, and a beautiful little wooden bunting stand made by Tara. A3 and A4 prints and greetings cards are also available.
In 2018, I was commissioned by DK Publishing to make five unicorns to be photographed for a children's pop-up book. The book was published in 2019, and I love how they have captured each of the wee unicorns! What really tickles me is when peope post pictures of the book which they've seen when out and about ;) You can buy the book on Amazon UK and Amazon.com. For more photos, click here.
