Now, I know I should have firmly controlled my impulse to post this but I was so pleased about it that I just couldn't resist! Some time ago a local conservation group put up an art exhibition devoted to wetland birds found in this area. You will know that I can never resist doing designs featuring birds so I had a big selection of them in my files, and it was no trouble to give them several for their exhibition.
But I was amazed last week to find that my work had actually featured in two local newspapers who had reported the exhibition – they both printed a picture of a large flying heron that I'd done some time ago.
The heron in the Aberdeen Press and Journal
So thank you to the Aberdeen Press and Journal, and to the Deeside Piper for their very kind coverage! OK, I know they may not be quite as widely read as the Sunday Times, but they're very popular papers around here and I am very grateful for the publicity
But I'd better post something new, so here's a little deer. There's a family of deer who make regular trips across the grass in front of our house, and the fawns love to run and jump. So here's a little sketch taken from them – not a fawn but a young buck. Now all I need is an exhibition run by deer conservationists, and he'll be on his way!

Congratulations! Just a few more exhibits and we’ll be asking for your autograph at red carpet events… Love the heron and the deer, by the way.
I love your work. It is true work of Art. I really love your heron and I am taken away at your young buck.
Congratulations! That is wonderful. I love your artwork with fabric. Beautiful heron and the young buck.!
Fantastic! Congratulations!
Congratulations Mia!! Your embroidery is outstanding and how wonderful to get a newspaper article featuring your artwork on their front cover no less! Love your new running buck. He is another testament to your stunning as always artwork.
Oh Mia, how exciting! But you know that your new fame will make you even busier. I bet your commissions will increase. I hope every single one of them is fascinating and that you love working on them.
Your wildlife art is always so uplifting. Thank you for sharing your work and your news with us.
Well done and congratulations.
congratulations!and the heron IS marvelous, as is the buck!!
Mia, congratulation on getting your art work published in the papers. Love the heron and buck.
Congratulations! You are so talented and now everyone will know!
Wow! I’ll bet you were so excited to see this! It’s a beautiful heron, and so great it was shared with a large audience. Many people in your area see your work at art shows, but probably a majority don’t attend them. This will provide an unreached group a peek into your world and give them a new appreciation of the wildlife around them. Your work can open their eyes into the beauty of nature, and your amazing interpretations of your fellow creatures. Hopefully, your customer base will be greatly expanded, as well. Congratulations, Mia!
Congrats! Love your work, thanks for sharing!
Mia, “CONGRATULATIONS” this is a well deserved accolade of your amazing work. Love the Heron and the young buck, must be a real treat to be able to view such an elegant creature on your lawn.
Félicitations
Cela fait plaisir de voir votre travail exposé et reconnu
Le héron est magnifique ; le petit cerf me fait penser au travail de Eric Alibert

Congratulations, Mia. Well deserved for this one but for all the others before this one. You have a wonderful playful view of creatures and it makes your work so beautiful. Just continue having fun with the animals, they are so realistic & we enjoy seeing your creations…we also have a family of 5, no 7 now, of deer that play, jump, and run in our lower field. Keep going and a job well done!
