It will be touch and
go whether there will be time to post it to you for Xmas by the time they get

You Tube of
‘Goldenheart’
I got a friend to do
a very low budget You Tube of me telling Goldenheart – it’s a series of stills
to the soundtrack. It starts strangely and improves. See what you think.
Ultimately I do want a moving version.
New schools show flyer - ‘Tales under the Story Tree’
Ask me for a copy and I’ll email it to you.
Baba Yaga Wkshop a great success- Nine women came along and we had a wonderful day chewing
over the story and Clarissa Pinkola Estes nine psychic tasks she wrote
pertaining to the story. All of the woman left feeling very enthusiastic about
their dolls- some finished and some in progress. I made my doll since and I am
felling very happy with it. I thought a lot about what would make the workshop
even more fun and so the next one will be even better, so I will definitely
offer it again- if you are keen tell me when suits you!
My new CD- still gestating
My eco CD is still in progress, but I am about to start some work at
Southern Cross University marking storytelling assignments, so that’ll keep me
busy until nearly February so I’ll continue with that then. Thankyou to all who
sent me their ideas for CD titles! There were lots contradictory votes though
the biggest was for ‘The Mulberry Tree’. It’s not just that I’m indecisive and a
perfectionist at
times- It’s hard to beat mermaids or pirates in a title for
sale-ability!
