Recently I supported Domme Ewan (Cable Punks) to facilitate their creative event as part of the Fun Palaces 2025 weekend. For Cable Punk’s session at LEVEL centre visitors were encouraged to create their own unique cardboard fun palace. At times over the years Domme Ewan has assisted me when running my own AllSensesArt workshops so this time it was so good to be able to give some support back. These photographs are just a small sample of the wonderful fun palaces that were created on the day. So much can be done with such simple materials. And the finishing touch was to share some electronics knowledge to add LED lights. <img width="3445" height="3101" width_o="3445" height_o="3101" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/748a471f63dbfcf43943a1f44fbf37852c3dc07077c7a89f25b5e807a1123492/PXL_20251004_121428220.jpg" data-mid="239102575" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/748a471f63dbfcf43943a1f44fbf37852c3dc07077c7a89f25b5e807a1123492/PXL_20251004_121428220.jpg" /> The fun palace movement brings together people of all ages and abilities.&nbsp; <img width="3472" height="4624" width_o="3472" height_o="4624" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0ac5145450585151bf353cb93881eec2e3522bdc0a185d9f9025a41e07432cf3/PXL_20251004_133950064.jpg" data-mid="239102581" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0ac5145450585151bf353cb93881eec2e3522bdc0a185d9f9025a41e07432cf3/PXL_20251004_133950064.jpg" />The magical power of imagination and sticky tape!&nbsp;<img width="3182" height="2496" width_o="3182" height_o="2496" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/66423b01f716f373fad3049a58f1dadffdb58c00679b3520b3b85a04934b9c27/PXL_20251004_131258815.jpg" data-mid="239102580" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/66423b01f716f373fad3049a58f1dadffdb58c00679b3520b3b85a04934b9c27/PXL_20251004_131258815.jpg" /> A rocket shaped fun palace with attached foil disco ball, and swimming pool.&nbsp; “A Fun Palace is a free event made by local people for their own community.&nbsp; At Fun Palaces people come together to share their skills, passions and interests, and to show the world just how brilliant and packed full of genius their community is!” <img width="3131" height="4370" width_o="3131" height_o="4370" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d44b3366441485b0a479b0e1adf96c666488a5f136c1c2ee7ad2bc633f705991/PXL_20251004_124718479.jpg" data-mid="239102576" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d44b3366441485b0a479b0e1adf96c666488a5f136c1c2ee7ad2bc633f705991/PXL_20251004_124718479.jpg" /> &nbsp;So many carefully made design decisions.&nbsp; <img width="3088" height="4053" width_o="3088" height_o="4053" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9173c30199a8fea008a4c8f8bcbf0b9d465c8482b8a390dc346e5c430469ef03/PXL_20251004_121208912.jpg" data-mid="239103505" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9173c30199a8fea008a4c8f8bcbf0b9d465c8482b8a390dc346e5c430469ef03/PXL_20251004_121208912.jpg" /> Fun palace with solo fish in the pond and hidden LED inside the purple tower.

During the school year 2024- 25, while I was Special Needs Teacher at another Nexus MAT school, I ran weekly enrichment sessions for students from Key Stages 4 and 5 (15 to 18 year olds).&nbsp; For the Friday Enrichment sessions I taught: dance classes; simple cake decorating classes, and in the Summer term, card making classes. The card making sessions were particularly popular with the students.&nbsp; The structured step-by-step approach that I use when teaching these sort of creative lessons works well for young people with special neeeds. My students for this year all had severe learning difficulties. Many were Autistic (some non-speaking) and others had other complex needs.&nbsp; Students really enjoy creative activities and most also love using sensory materials. Anxiety is reduced by first showing students a finished card and then demonstrating the stages of making it.&nbsp; <img width="3101" height="1744" width_o="3101" height_o="1744" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/461abc43faa8f4415ee903d07ed11c9c9c285a82ae3b24f44d947c0346dcea7b/Tiger-ears.jpg" data-mid="237427641" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/461abc43faa8f4415ee903d07ed11c9c9c285a82ae3b24f44d947c0346dcea7b/Tiger-ears.jpg" />Tiger ears drawn and ready to become part of a fancy dress costume.&nbsp;<img width="2074" height="2771" width_o="2074" height_o="2771" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aae5a56789c442a3d3e2ac3997e2844cfce91907c783e6aa1509e53532543496/Fish-card-001.JPG" data-mid="237427659" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aae5a56789c442a3d3e2ac3997e2844cfce91907c783e6aa1509e53532543496/Fish-card-001.JPG" /> Fishy themed cards made using bubble wrap printing I have found that making a video of myself demonstrating the process&nbsp; and showing this to the students on the big classroom screen can be even more effective than my in person demonstration in front of&nbsp; them.&nbsp; This is one technique that I have used to make teaching more accessible, especially for autistic students.

They can become the favourite part of the day not only for the children but also for the adults facilitating the story too. I told my first Sensory Story while working with a group of students with PMLD (Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties) at Talbot Specialist School in Sheffield 2019. I drew on my early Artist Working in Special Education Training and also my experience of working with the blind and visually impaired learners. This was invaluable, especially as three of the students in this group had no vision at all. Over the years I have built up an an impressive library of Sensory Stories and have thoroughly enjoyed sharing my skills in this area with both my classroom support staff and also visitors to the school. I have simplified stories such as Roald Dahl’s ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’ and even rewritten stories if need be. Sourcing appropriate props is both fun and a creative&nbsp; challenge. I always try to ensure that I can incorporate props that cater for my students’ sensory tolerences, needs and interests.&nbsp; For example the props that I use when telling my Sensory Story version&nbsp; in Eric Carle’s ‘The Tiny Seed’ includes; fans, ice, fake snow, sand, hot water bottles, water poured from a watering can, a feather boa, bird seeds sprinkled into trays, fabric flowers and floral aromatherapy oils. <img width="3808" height="2960" width_o="3808" height_o="2960" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/daadccf69da9cf1e039feaadc488cac9343a0c9dd14b54ee72513cb98b75fe60/PXL_20251015_162902903.jpg" data-mid="239554013" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/daadccf69da9cf1e039feaadc488cac9343a0c9dd14b54ee72513cb98b75fe60/PXL_20251015_162902903.jpg" />I made differentiated symbilised versions of this story <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/21b854df1d9eb44efcfd7d99a3d2b83460f74253fdfe1c44a26a09fa7d1a0d13/PXL_20251015_162538124.jpg" data-mid="239554014" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/21b854df1d9eb44efcfd7d99a3d2b83460f74253fdfe1c44a26a09fa7d1a0d13/PXL_20251015_162538124.jpg" />A sparkly mermaid tail to dress up in; a small mermaid doll to handle and a laminated symbolised book version with added glitter to give the page some textural interest Sensory Stories have simplified language and focus more on how the story can be experienced through the senses.

I am passionate about finding ways to; connect with; to build trusting relationships with and to empower people, so that they are better able to progress their own unique learning journeys. My journey into Special Needs teaching began in 2010 with, Working Parts, an excellent training programme for artists working in special schools and my work at Penn Hall Special School, Wolverhampton, was then featured in Black Country Touring's Arts Council England funding evaluation video.&nbsp;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vycqP9Czimk Since relocating to South Yorkshire in 2014 I completed a (PGCE) Post Graduate Certificate of Education at Sheffield Hallam University and have gone on to become a Special Needs Teacher working with young people with complex additional needs. &nbsp; While working on-supply assignments (Sept 2018 - Sept 2020) I worked both as a Teacher and as a Learning Support Assistant in a range of special schools across South Yorkshire.&nbsp; I have a wealth of experience of working with young people with ASC (Autistic Spectrum Condition). This gained firstly through my two years as Textile Teacher at Brantwood Specialist School, a Steiner inspired special school and part of&nbsp; The Ruskin Mill Trust. Students there have diagnoses of ASC, complex sensory profiles, heighted anxiety and some also with PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance).Building on this initial Autism experience I have completed training via University of Bath, Good Practice in Autism Education and taught on-supply at Robert Ogden School (National Autistic Society). <img width="2592" height="1936" width_o="2592" height_o="1936" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7f1e9e2e80c5758e3bfca8137d02d7cd4c32bd32101f923fb28f0d09760f0eec/A-Snake01.JPG" data-mid="76073407" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7f1e9e2e80c5758e3bfca8137d02d7cd4c32bd32101f923fb28f0d09760f0eec/A-Snake01.JPG" />A very special first session while working as part of the teaching team at Sheffield Children’s Hospital&nbsp; <img width="3163" height="2340" width_o="3163" height_o="2340" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/05ea7c39b2bc874996758bd001233ce0dd6c5d27c3329d4d5d635a691e111f30/KS4-textured-mats-Kelford11.jpg" data-mid="76073411" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/05ea7c39b2bc874996758bd001233ce0dd6c5d27c3329d4d5d635a691e111f30/KS4-textured-mats-Kelford11.jpg" />&nbsp;Decision making and ownership of their individual work is always important. During my time as Special Needs Teacher at NorthRidge Community School it was recognised that I have particular strengths in working with young people who are often non-verbal and who also have complex sensory profiles. I was lucky enough to work with the Sensory Occupational Therapist who was in school on a weekly basis. Working with these students reminded me of my passion to work &nbsp;with people with non neuro-typical interpretations of the world. Previous experience in this area includes working with older people living with Dementia and also working with young people suffering from post operative brain trauma - Sheffield children's Hospital (2019). I have now built an impressive library of resources for Sensory Stories as I have found them such a fantastic resource when working with young people with complex needs.

It ran from Feb-April 2012 and it was&nbsp; wonderful! &nbsp; <img width="1932" height="1419" width_o="1932" height_o="1419" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e925269ef3361ca9848e68d775a788481e46b7496b317ebb420238681b9d3c5f/allsensesart-The-Joy-of-Making-holding1.JPG" data-mid="76063132" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e925269ef3361ca9848e68d775a788481e46b7496b317ebb420238681b9d3c5f/allsensesart-The-Joy-of-Making-holding1.JPG" />photo credit: Stephen King <img width="960" height="620" width_o="960" height_o="620" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/55859c1706a7b94043368ae79839b6b5c4dc39bc6f55b1f41f395775f0aa40a1/allsensesart-The-Joy-of-Making-hands51.jpg" data-mid="76063126" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/960/i/55859c1706a7b94043368ae79839b6b5c4dc39bc6f55b1f41f395775f0aa40a1/allsensesart-The-Joy-of-Making-hands51.jpg" />photo credit: Stephen King There is no doubt that creating with your hands has a very therapeutic and beneficial effect on people's wellbeing. Despite having no memory of the previous session A was a great 'joiner-in’ and she came to every session&nbsp; However, it was obvious that her body had some sort of memory; I often say how felting is best learnt by doing and it was obvious that A’s body remembered how to handle the wool fibres. In the 6th week A rediscovered her ability to plait and got very busy plaiting lengths of the fluffy merino wool tops. This was a perfect opportunity to talk about memories of hairstyles from our childhoods.&nbsp; A’s independence grew noticeably over the weeks. At first she was assisted by one of the occupational therapists, then she quickly showed her individuality by deciding on colours and was happy to continue independently. I was delighted when she made some design decisions including leaving her flowers with solid petals rather than cutting them and when she made her plait and stitched it in a diagonal across her mat. <img width="960" height="639" width_o="960" height_o="639" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bcaa6b9b1c2f84452c39dbe3d4e9394594e22962cb61646371f4dd8465776ae3/allsensesart-The-Joy-of-Making-hand-splint1.jpg" data-mid="76063122" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/960/i/bcaa6b9b1c2f84452c39dbe3d4e9394594e22962cb61646371f4dd8465776ae3/allsensesart-The-Joy-of-Making-hand-splint1.jpg" />&nbsp;V was recovering after a stroke.

L not only made some beads but also spent some time arranging them around one of the felted pieces that Occupational Therapist, Karen, had made in the previous week. I was interested to see how absorbed she got in this activity (she was singing as she did it) and also that she didn’t feel constrained to arrange the beads in an obvious flower pattern. The first week that we made felted mats with felted fringing was the only week that a lady called J took park. She amazed the Occupational Therapist team by staying engaged in the activity for much longer than she had in previous craft activities. Her calm and happy expression showed that she was enjoying the sensory experience of working with the soapy water and rubbing the wool fibres.&nbsp;In the sessions there was often laughter and on more than one occasion dancing too.It was wonderful to meet up with the group members when they attended the opening event of The Joy of Making at Wolverhampton Art Gallery.<img width="2848" height="2136" width_o="2848" height_o="2136" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/53881eb58bf34f9ea44386853b273a760c5f4bed872ffd1e802d57f5525ceec5/allsensesart-The-Joy-of-Making-exhibition21.JPG" data-mid="76063114" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/53881eb58bf34f9ea44386853b273a760c5f4bed872ffd1e802d57f5525ceec5/allsensesart-The-Joy-of-Making-exhibition21.JPG" />The exhibition was beautifully presented and included quotes from the participants which were captured while they were engrossed in the making process. <img width="600" height="429" width_o="600" height_o="429" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/999db0b205ed54801ea54a646d0628818e4f2372ff7d7c9de2efc53e2b5eb0a4/Joy-of-Making-05panel-with-arranged-felted-beads.jpg" data-mid="76063140" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/600/i/999db0b205ed54801ea54a646d0628818e4f2372ff7d7c9de2efc53e2b5eb0a4/Joy-of-Making-05panel-with-arranged-felted-beads.jpg" />pLeft: L's arrangement of felted beads Right: A Polish paper-cut design <img width="2848" height="2136" width_o="2848" height_o="2136" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c20446991d721187acbfc5145aa214afe21a1de077bf7dc16613d104a708ea24/allsensesart-The-Joy-of-Making-exhibition31.JPG" data-mid="76063118" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c20446991d721187acbfc5145aa214afe21a1de077bf7dc16613d104a708ea24/allsensesart-The-Joy-of-Making-exhibition31.JPG" />It was wonderful to see the pride that the ladies and gentlemen from Penn Hospital had on seeing their own work on display in a major regional art gallery.&nbsp; <img width="500" height="155" width_o="500" height_o="155" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3b67f9f2187fb6acaae7748bfebdcb7591b3ed65005aadb17ba115d035eddedb/feedback_card_Penn_Hospital.jpg" data-mid="76063137" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/500/i/3b67f9f2187fb6acaae7748bfebdcb7591b3ed65005aadb17ba115d035eddedb/feedback_card_Penn_Hospital.jpg" /> Not only did they benefit from taking part in the craft activities but their wellbeing and feelings of self-worth also improved as a result of seeing their own creations shown in one of the country's best regional art galleries. https://allsensesart.com/GARMENTS-by-SEN-STUDENTS Tue, 30 Jun 2020 10:34:39 +0000 AllSensesArt https://allsensesart.com/GARMENTS-by-SEN-STUDENTS Cosplay Garments by SEN students Re-engaging young people by devising personalised projects appropriate to their individual interests was an incredibly rewarding experience. As each student's skill base grew their sense of self-worth also blossomed. Sewing sessions became much needed therapeutic input into these young people's lives. Prior to my PGCE I was the Textiles Teacher at Brantwood Specialist School, Ruskin Mill Trust in Sheffield for two years. As part of the Ruskin Mill Trust the school takes a holistic approach to learning and there is an emphasis on improving young people’s sense of self worth and wellbeing by first focusing on learning through physical activities and hands on craft. The complex young people that I taught had struggled in their previous educational settings. Almost all had an Autism diagnosis and raised levels of anxiety. Some had experienced adverse early life experiences (Trauma) and several students had pathological demand avoidance (PDA). Each of my students had their own very specific needs because of; their complex profiles. Building trust and good working relationships was my first step. Many of the students were extremely disengaged as a result of their previous experiences of educational settings and so just getting them to be comfortable enough to come to and also to stay in their sessions took time. The school is Steiner inspired and for that reason many of the students were already quite familiar with the wet felt-making process. I had originally been employed as Textiles Teacher as a result of my wet feltmaking skills in particular however, once the students realised that I had strong garment making skills they then started to ask to do projects which would use those skills. Textile Projects Included: making cosplay costumes, appliquéd football flags, personalised sportswear, dressing-up superhero costumes, working with leather, candle making and sculpting with wax, dyeing and hand spinning sheep’s fleece and making matchstick sculptures. Wet-Felting projects included: large wallhangings, puppets, cushions and two very accomplished hat projects (one a Top-Hat and the other a Fedora). This page is a showcase of the machine sewn garments made by Young People while I was their teacher at Brantwood Special School. But although the students’ work and my teaching impressed OFSTED I believe that the main achievement was the growth of each the student's self-worth and positive outlook on their own futures.&nbsp; In 2019 I was a temporary Teacher at Becton School; Sheffield Children’s Hospital Site.

The rhythmical rubbing of wet wool fibres with warm soapy water is also exceedingly calming especially for people who are dealing with heightened anxiety and mental health challenges. Felting has also been a fabulous medium for creative work in HOSPITAL and HEALTHCARE SETTINGS. Between 2008 and 2012 I devised and facilitated summer projects at Birmingham Children's Hospital. Felting projects there covered small jewellery projects through to glove puppets and wall hangings. Work produced was exhibited at Arts Fest, some is on permanent display within the hospital and other smaller items were kept by the participants (a positive reminder of their creative achievements made during challenging times in their lives). 2010 Penn Hospital Wolverhampton - Exhibited as part of The Joy of Making - Wolverhampton Museum and Art Gallery 2019 While working as Supply Teacher (Becton School - Sheffield Children's Hospital Site) 1:1 work over a six week period.

One of my first AllSensesArt Nurture Interventions was at Model Village Primary School. I worked with Y5 and Y6 students every Friday for a full academic year. We started off with short activities making things which could be taken home at the end of each session and this then culminated in two large projects in the final five weeks of the year. <img width="2490" height="1686" width_o="2490" height_o="1686" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5a57ff254f144cdbb2ab8e0a10d165e769e3ba33db73cb5bd78d18d06c3e0b45/Model-Village-nurture-AllSensesArt1.JPG" data-mid="76307097" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5a57ff254f144cdbb2ab8e0a10d165e769e3ba33db73cb5bd78d18d06c3e0b45/Model-Village-nurture-AllSensesArt1.JPG" />A wool version of the colour wheel. Mixing colours with fluffy sheep's wool is even more exciting than doing it with paint &nbsp; I use music, drama and story-telling to bring a project to life Y5 made a Fantasy Superhero Wall-Hanging for their library and Y6 made the really wonderful Nuno felted Den. In my own practice www.kirstyesmith.co.uk I use textures, colour and sound and in my www.allsensesart.com work I often use music and a wide range of tactile and sensory materials. This SuperHero wall hanging had so much going on; flying shoes, portals to escape to other dimensions, Dr Who's Tardis, DX wrestling, Excalibur and stretchy gloves that can go under doors. These ideas came from our first dramatic dressing-up session in the school library; that's when the students explored the idea of creating their own superheroes. <img width="2000" height="1512" width_o="2000" height_o="1512" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9d24e8007461d23c519b8f4792ac86ed1c0369362b1401cf852148599014fc8f/Model-Village-nurture-AllSensesArt6.JPG" data-mid="76307471" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9d24e8007461d23c519b8f4792ac86ed1c0369362b1401cf852148599014fc8f/Model-Village-nurture-AllSensesArt6.JPG" /> <img width="2047" height="2130" width_o="2047" height_o="2130" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d65b73604adbbe07c473318fc6f8a8448b0283559296637476b8e9348fce3de4/Nuno-felted-den-nurture-AllSensesArt06.JPG" data-mid="76307105" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d65b73604adbbe07c473318fc6f8a8448b0283559296637476b8e9348fce3de4/Nuno-felted-den-nurture-AllSensesArt06.JPG" /> <img width="1500" height="1187" width_o="1500" height_o="1187" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/991706981af95a29d57801d3e06ed72837d70eab0ee81cd716efc92aefbf76f0/Nuno-felted-den-nurture-AllSensesArt11.jpg" data-mid="76307109" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/991706981af95a29d57801d3e06ed72837d70eab0ee81cd716efc92aefbf76f0/Nuno-felted-den-nurture-AllSensesArt11.jpg" />The pupils have SO MUCH to be proud of.

For the FireBird project I worked with a combined group of Y2 and Y3 pupils. Music from the FireBird ballet was played, mini-creatures from Koschei the Imortal's garden were made, a fabulous 3D felted firebird was created (where all the children contributed) and a beautiful little zig-zag book of the pupils’ bird drawings was made. The Firebird was displayed in the bookshop as part of Wirksworth Arts Festival (so the pupils’ achievements were very public) and their self-esteem had grown while friendships with older pupils in the Junior school were nurtured. &nbsp; <img width="1342" height="1316" width_o="1342" height_o="1316" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c14a106411a1e117d24bee33fadb1415fa354cf1b5c801301cb2f582cd1c06bc/FireBird-nurture-AllSensesArt16.jpg" data-mid="76307090" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c14a106411a1e117d24bee33fadb1415fa354cf1b5c801301cb2f582cd1c06bc/FireBird-nurture-AllSensesArt16.jpg" /> The firebird on display in The Bookshop window <img width="2848" height="2136" width_o="2848" height_o="2136" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/29b59712021a4061b265dfa52e3a73f0a12d8d6cca002bca1fe7ecb6c1426529/07-Nuno-felted-fire_025.JPG" data-mid="76307077" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/29b59712021a4061b265dfa52e3a73f0a12d8d6cca002bca1fe7ecb6c1426529/07-Nuno-felted-fire_025.JPG" /> <img width="2097" height="2647" width_o="2097" height_o="2647" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b4ae0d999b7eca3850588854aad1b3818ed9a33695a11e75164307857515a3bc/FireBird-nurture-AllSensesArt06.JPG" data-mid="76307088" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b4ae0d999b7eca3850588854aad1b3818ed9a33695a11e75164307857515a3bc/FireBird-nurture-AllSensesArt06.JPG" /> <img width="1000" height="750" width_o="1000" height_o="750" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ff67bc4bfa7cdb1377306a0b62c3b9656cddf6d974ed0011834b3fbfee82e877/FireBird-nurture-AllSensesArt021.JPG" data-mid="76307094" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ff67bc4bfa7cdb1377306a0b62c3b9656cddf6d974ed0011834b3fbfee82e877/FireBird-nurture-AllSensesArt021.JPG" /> <img width="2136" height="2848" width_o="2136" height_o="2848" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c1be5c257d20ee8c286e3877570696b9b9c78f8a73e889d4b8b3ae1c7f6299e4/08-Eyes_020.JPG" data-mid="76307082" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c1be5c257d20ee8c286e3877570696b9b9c78f8a73e889d4b8b3ae1c7f6299e4/08-Eyes_020.JPG" />
