Guess how old this design is…
Guess how old this design is…Well, amazingly enough, the little buck I used in repeat for my Multibuck design is over 2000 years old, and comes from a cave painting in the Cederberg region of the Western Cape.
My cartographer friend, Peter Slingsby, knows all about this region’s topography, history and art, and has published books on all of these topics. He’s also the person who lovingly traced the image from a photo of the painting on rock and kindly allowed me to use it in my design.
These two Multibuck cushions are now for sale in my Etsy shop, and Pete’s books are for sale online at Mapshop, as well as in bookstores all over South Africa.

Your herd composition of the ancient little buck look amazing. The blue one is my favorite.

I saw this on your flickr page, I think, and I was going to ask you to bring it back someday. I’m glad you did. I might have to order some for our cabin in the woods.

How cool is that!! Cave drawings that look contempary and fresh on your pillow. Could we call it a little bit of Art History?

I love it! What a fresh, creative use of some very local inspiration. I’m imagining those in my dream Cape Town apartment… -X
