The Febo series is the first and only time that Eveleigh used illusion in her work: the artist created the ground for the drawings using a watercolour wash to simulate the organic qualities of inexpensive copybook paper and pale blue ink to define the lines.Each of the simulate copybook pages is totally different (she made 80 Febo drawings).
In 2009, following the presumed theft and destruction of a large number of artworks, Eveleigh began reworking some earlier works, including the Febo series of which fifty works were lost (she only re-made 30 of the 50 though).
