“Being a lover of Elspeth’s work, I was so excited to get my copy of Jewels of Nature. The beautiful mandalas combined with the nature that inspired them, made these stones truly come to life. And I loved all of the stories, poems, and anecdotes. This is a book that I will treasure forever.”

“ It’s even more beautiful than I imagined.”

“ This book is so beautiful and amazing it is a visual feast for the eyes and a true gift. I thank you for sharing your journey with us. There are no words for me to describe the wonder I feel as I look at the photo of each stone in the place that inspired it.”

“ “Jewels of Nature” is a spectacular book. The photos are exquisite of her mandala stone art. Every page you will “oooh” and “ahhh” thinking that one is your favourite… until you turn the page and see the next one. Each mandala stone has its own story, song or poem that is just delightful and will make your heart happy. The book itself is beautiful and made of high quality paper. The colors just pop out like you could actually touch the stones and flowers. What are you waiting for? Get one now!”

“ I have been a fan of your beautiful rocks for a long time. One day I might actually own one. However, the next best thing is your beautiful book. I love the rocks coupled with what inspired you to paint them. The photography is amazing. Of course since I am a retired biology teacher I might be slightly prejudiced with my love of nature. However, anyone would love this book. I highly recommend it. Thank you for creating this remarkable work! ”
