It's official. I'm absolutely smitten with Yorkshire-born artist Emma Stothard's willow sculptures.
Her work is newly available through
the shop at Highgrove, Prince Charles's home and garden in Gloucestershire. In fact, it's the Prince's Charitable Foundation that awarded Stothard a grant to begin her career as a sculptor in 2001. By offering her pieces for sale (proceeds go back to the trust and continue to fund good causes) the circle is completed.
The sculptures shown on the grounds at Highgrove represent the prince's particular interest in historic breeds and his association with
the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. Below are a few of Stothard's creations photographed on the estate but you'll find many more images of her incredible work on her Web site (click
