Jess Racklyeft

@scbwi I would love to go in person one day. But living on the other side of the world it’s just brilliant to be able to access the incredible speakers from our lounge room while I draw! #SCBWISummerSpec #SCBWIArtists

#scbwiartists Q4: How are you enjoying the virtual conference? Upsides to this new change?

Loving watching the videos later in a good time in Australia, tres inspiring!, thanks @scbwi #SCBWISummerSpec #SCBWIArtists

So it appears I’ve forgotten my twitter password and my account is not linked to any of my three email accounts. Operation delete Twitter has not gone well. Or is this a sign to stay?! 🤔

It’s been real Twitter for my one week, but in a bid to not be online ALL the time I am signing off! Well done #authorsforfiries #AuthorsForFireys @NovaWeetman @EmilyGale 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@Sandraf64281553 Absolutely! I have an Etsy shop - etsy.com/au/shop/Jesses… - thanks again 🙏🥰

@JessRacklyeft That’s great news for the fundraising Jess and if you have these prints available for sale I would be interested to buy. Thank you 😊

#AuthorsForFireys ok let’s do this! I have three A3 giclee prints of my artwork up for auction (value $150) with a starting bid of $50. The rules and info on the auction are: authorsforfireys.wixsite.com

@Barroy Perfect! It’s jessesmess@gmail.com :))

@JessRacklyeft Fabulous - I’ll make payment and be back in touch - I would prefer to send email if that’s ok. If so, could you confirm your email address ?

@Sandraf64281553 Thank you Sandra! I had one last bid of $500 - really appreciate your bid ❤️

@JessRacklyeft $400

@Barroy Thank you Barroy - that works for me, the more money raised the better! You are the winning bid, if you don’t mind sending me your address and a copy of the donation to the CFA, that would be wonderful. Thank you!

@JessRacklyeft Hi Jess - bit confusing as people r bidding on different sites ! If u throw in the print with sea creatures (all signed) I’ll offer $500

@Salthorse @ksimpsonbooks @AllenAndUnwin You legend! Thanks as always, you’ll be our first reader as the book isn’t out til March 🙈👏🏻

@ksimpsonbooks @AllenAndUnwin @JessRacklyeft I am so pleased that I have been able to help out. I really wanted this book after a lifetime of service in the Navy and as an aside I am really starting to build a @JessRacklyeft collection.

For #authorsforfireys, Jess Racklyeft & I are offering an advance copy (signed by us both) of our upcoming picture book Anzac Girl: The War Diaries of Alice Ross-King, along with an original watercolour painting by Jess of a red poppy, sized A4. #authorsforfiries

@Sandraf64281553 Wonderful thanks Sandra! X

@JessRacklyeft I’d like to bid $350 please!

Amazing stuff up for auction #authorsforfiries - and thank you to the top bidder so far for three A3 giclee prints (legend Bec!) for $150 👍👍 #AuthorsForFireys - keep going!

Current highest bid $300 for the three giclee prints (see my pinned post to bid). ❤️🙏 Here’s an A4 version of one of them - you get 3 x A3! Jumbo goodness! #AuthorsForFireys #authorsforfiries

Here is the original watercolour by @JessRacklyeft being offered with this book.

@nicolasantilli @ksimpsonbooks You are too sweet Nicola!

@ksimpsonbooks @JessRacklyeft Gorgeous. Jess, I'm crying! (Of course.)

@BecMcLellan THanks Bec ❤️👏🏻

#AuthorsForFireys I’m joining Twitter for just a week (I don’t want to add another social medium to my world!) but what a wonderful idea @EmilyGale and @NovaWeetman - now to learn how to use Twitter real quick! 🤔
