Early this year I was so proud to be selected to create one of the 30 life sized elephant sculptures as part of the ‘Trunks across the Thames’ Wild in Art trail in aid of Thames Hospice.

The trail has been an absolute hit with Thames Hospice supporters and trail goers throughout the summer and is now coming to an end on Sunday 13 September.

On 15 October my elephant Elliepants will be going in to a live charity auction in person and online to raise vital funds for the hospice.
Every sculpture sold will help raise vital funds for Thames Hospice, supporting local people and families when they need it most.

Would you like to help find my elephant a forever home? You can register NOW to bid at www.trunksacrossthethames/ auctio

Meet the creator behind Sherlock Bones 🕵️‍♀️

Artist Nicola Mills @makermrs said the funny (or punny!) name started from playing around with silly names for Scottie dogs and the character and designed developed as soon as Sherlock Bones was named.

We're so grateful Giffnock BID @thegiffnockvillage for sponsoring Sherlock Bones which you can find outside the RBS in Giffnock.📍

Giffnock BID's kindness means @maggiescentres can continue to support the growing numbers of people impacted by cancer in the UK. 🧡 by @makermrs
