With 2019 just around the corner, a local group of artists have come up with the perfect Christmas gift – a calendar which throughout the year will be a daily reminder of the beautiful birdlife we have locally.
Aptly named Flights of Fancy, the calendar has been created by the Pure Pastels group at Noosa Arts and Crafts at Wallace Park, Noosaville.
Pelicans, ibis, rainbow lorikeets, kookaburras, finches are just some of our colourful birds illustrating the twelve months of the year.
The artists meet weekly with well-known artist and art tutor Carolyn Sheather and all profits from the sale of the calendar will be given to drought relief.
Says Carolyn: “As a group we wanted to do what we could to support farmers by providing something, unique, local and desirable.”
Carolyn will be guest speaker when the calendar is launched to the public on Friday October 26 at 4pm at Noosa Arts and Crafts.
Cost of the calendar is $15 but, if you hop along to the launch, you’ll enjoy the early bird price of $12. All welcome.
