Hello my name is Janine Matthews & I am an Assemblage Sculptor.

I make sculptures out of recycled bits n pieces & peoples discards.

I have written a children's book about a group of friends that go on a journey to help Lilly the Long-necked Tortoise clean up her waterhole so she can lay her eggs safely, then they continue on their journey to help Buzzy Bee build a Bee Hotel for all of his bee & insect friends.

It is about friendship & helping others.

All of the characters are made from recycled rubbish.

It is a 2 fold story, they go on their adventure to help their friends & save the environment, but also to spark the readers imagination into looking at everyday mundane objects & what they can create themselves.

I live on a disability pension so every dollar that you can donate towards my book getting published will help my dream come true.

Thank you.
