Most of the haiga were produced, with haiku by Sally Clarke, Liz Nicholls, Graeme Butler and Norman Hewitt, and artworks by Verna Coopes, Norman Hewitt and Sally Clarke.

They were produced during an 8 week course titled Haiku and Haiga - One Moment Please, held at The Art House, 63 Railway Avenue, Kelmscott in 2011. The course was run by Maureen Sexton. Maureen is the WA Representative of HaikuOz (The Australian Haiku Society) and she runs the Mari Warabiny Haiku Group in WA.
