In aid of The Sussex Snowdrop Trust We wanted to do  something for The Sussex Snowdrop Trust. .... a unique local charity providing ‘Nursing Care at Home’ for local children who have a life-threatening or terminal illness. We mulled over a few ideas...chatted it through with the Snowdrop Trust and their patron The Duchess of Norfolk and decided on our signature style of decoration. A take on 19th century lacquerwork. We paint, decorate with decoupage using 18th and 19th century images and end with a lacquer finish. A pretty English 19th century chest was found. We wanted to include images that would align with the philosophy of the Trust and have special meaning... As one of the first flowers of spring, the snowdrop symbolises  new beginnings, hope, and the ability to overcome challenges. Butterflies symbolise the soul. Ladybirds  for hope and protection....
