As the first batch sunflowers made their way to their new homes around the world, people have responded by hanging them in their windows in solidarity with the Ukranian people and sharing their photos. I thought I'd bring them all together here in celebration of the TEN THOUSAND POUNDS that we raised together.

Rowan Macgregor, Clare Scott.
Hilary Clarke made these beautiful cyanotypes from the sunflowers too.
Goodness knows, the Ukranian people need all the support they can get right now at this terrible time. Lets keep thinking of them every time we see our sunflowers and hope for peace.
Thanks to everyone for sharing your images. I'll add more as time goes by. x

Dear Hannah, Thank you for sharing your before and after studio tour. Love what you have done with your space. You have great vision! I will not be venturing out to your neck of the woods for your open studio, but I did purchase your mini brochure of all the artists on the tour. I would love to have a virtual experience. Thanks for sending me the brochure. Best of luck to selling and sharing. Have a wonder-filled day and experience. Sincerely, Yvette Williams Virginia Beach, VA
Beautiful & useful – didn’t William Morris have something to say about that? The very best of both worlds Hannah & a tremendous effort. I have shared with Art for Life & the Women’s Network at Musgrove Park Hospital (Somerset Foundation Trust) and suggested that we also get planting sunflowers! Keep up the great work :-) xx
These are lovely. Can’t wait to get mine but get well soon first ☺️🌻
