Belinda Hall Australian Artist

Today I would like to introduce you to Belinda Hall, an eclectic artist from Australia. I have had the pleasure of " meeting " her on the forums on Etsy. She is one of a number of artists participating in two long running threads regarding ACEO's.

That is NOT all Belinda creates but let me show you. First, this beautiful water lily ACEO.

Belinda's work includes recycled materials, photography, knitting, knotting, crochet, and much more.. I would love to see her studio!

When you visit her etsy shop you will know that she is passionate about animals. She custom makes dog leads, horse ropes and webbing equipment.

But she doesn't just sell. In order to support her passion she donates to charities to protect animals, including the Mountain Gorilla. Read this :

"Amongst the tranquil setting high in the mountains of the Congo a family resides. The head of the family is regally silverhaired, quite like most learned leaders of the world, they all have soft brown eyes that seem to hold mysterious secrets and see into your heart. Their expression peaceful and a wonder to behold, especially when you learn of the trauma they are currently enduring. That of the wars between men of differing views.Of whom do I speak you may ask ...The Mountain Gorilla Family ...lead by a magnificent mature Silverback male. I think of the one family who have lost so many members recently ...but there are more families in danger and I want to help.This auction is to raise funds for these magnificent creatures and the men who 'live' to see that they do too!!!I am donating 100% of the final sale price of this item to the Wildlife Direct Gorilla Program so please keep your eyes open for listings carrying the 'WDGP'."

If you would like to participate in this go to her shop!

Belinda is always up for a trade. This is a great way to add to your ACEO collection and get the thrill of sending YOUR artwork across the world.

Check out her PIF listings. PIF stands for pay-it forward. Sellers offer art for a minimal price ( usually .20 and shipping costs) and ask only that you offer listings in your store under the PIF category. Build up some good karma, folks!

Thank you, Belinda for agreeing to be featured here! Come back again. I have two more wonderous artists to tell you about AND a contest coming up!
