This gorgeous book I worked on for almost two years on and off is finally out! I am so happy this wonderful collaboration between me and one of my favourite human beings and storytellers was able to happen, with the support of the brilliant Tom and Rhonda Muir of Orkneyology press.

You can find more info on Shonaleigh and our collaboration here: https://www.orkneyology.com/Shonaleigh-Cumbers-Orkneyology-Press.html

I am making some of the original illustrations for this gorgeous book available to buy, this is partly to help fund the creation of a workshop space at our house in Morocco where hopefully more magic can happen not just for our visitors but also for young people from the community (more news on this soon)

These beautiful pieces are all close to my heart and its hard to let them go but I have selected one to keep for myself and it would be a shame for them to sit in my portfolio when they could bring happiness to others.

The three that are unavailable as originals, The Angel Lailah, The garment for the moon and The Dandelion dancer can be purchased as signed limited edition art prints though at £55 each (as can any of the others if an original is a bit out of your reach)

The original paintings are £350 each. Please contact me at ksoutarillustrator@gmail.com if you are interested in buying one

Thank you to Shonaleigh for giving me the chance to work with your exquisite storytelling and rich tradition.
