Mini-Event Acrylic Canvas 2026 by Cookie

Big events are few and far between. Birthdays, anniversaries etc... annual celebrations.

The original sheep characters were created by Cookie in 1987, inspired by the tent trampling loud early morning bleating sheep of the Welsh mountains. Rather than a timid, human fearing species, their rebellious nature took Cookie;'s imagination a step further. ......
