hey beautiful people,
i've been missing in action here on the blog.
going away makes for a short, slightly mad week...
the faces have kept coming though,
some more interesting and inspiring than others.
happy weekend everyone ;)
in progress
some larger faces in progress
still a long way to go.
i'm working on 8 of them at once,
it keeps me on my toes and i am loving it!
some painted, some drawn...
and just like that we are well into the 9th month...
too far gone to stop :)
super grateful that Jeanne-Marie my "partner in crime"
is still going too and we can keep cheering each other on!
see her august team here.
onward we go!
learning
i spent the weekend at Roz's studio for a bookmaking workshop
taught by Sharon from the Printing Press Durban.
on the first day we did the book above,
unfortunately i can't remember the name...
it now has a cover as well but i still need to do some trimming
and adjusting.
below is the coptic book we made on the second day.
i used old painting as covers.
the idea with the coptic style is to leave the stitching on the spine
to show, they form a pretty pattern and make it look deliciously handmade.
i love the book feels and i can't wait to start sketching in it.
i loved making something 3 dimensional again,
i realized i am missing that since i have been to pottery this year.
what a treat to be making something out of bits and pieces...
it's in the simple things ;)
weekly roundup
dorky dork,
big hearted wise fool,
colourful clowns,
bird watching princess
and dolled up babe...
the visual story of the past few days ;)
nature love
the view from my window
flat crown - albizia adianthifolia
in full bloom, the smell is deliciously intoxicating
spring has arrived
we are still waiting for rain...
keep on keeping on
the daunting sight of a new month ;)
happy spring day from this side of the planet!
