It is a long story but I have been making stickers as well as merch. The first two are up on Redbubble. I am trying to help raise awareness of a #GoFundMe campaign called Welcome Wave to take asylum seeking Irish kids surfing.
The stickers are based on a few people. One is Ruby from my book “A Fairy in the Family Again” and the other is an Afro-Irish activist called Kany Kazadi who I have blogged about before.
Here is the first of the Cute Surfer Girl stickers.

And here she is in pink with a fabulous braid style invented just for her.
