…we went camping in the Cederberg to celebrate a very good friend’s birthday over the long weekend. Our little yellow tent bravely warded off the threat of rain, and putting on all our clothes (and hats, and scarves) at sunset meant we stayed toasty round the fire. I also made a new little friend, called …

Eye Chart cut out
I made this Eye Chart cutout illustration for an event held by the Book Lounge on Friday night. The occasion was Picador’s 40th birthday bash, and the Book Lounge asked a number of local artists to donate black and white works to be auctioned for charity. I missed the event, but heard over the weekend …

Holiday = Bunting
I spent my Human Rights Day holiday yesterday making bunting, which seemed a fairly celebratory thing to do, really. The first four pieces I made are for sale in my Etsy shop, and keep an eye out in my Cape Town shop for more.

I’ve been finding it interesting to return to my Colour Yum board on Pinterest, to take stock of what has been catching my eye online, and this morning, inspired …

At the Market
I went to Milnerton Market on Sunday, supposedly to buy plants, but it just so happened to be particularly good pickings this weekend, and, having just read David Southwood’s Milnerton Market book, I couldn’t possibly make it a simple in-out operation. So lots of treasure hunting was done, and lots of pics were snapped on …

Ups and downs
I’m feeling a little out of sorts today, and I’m going to have to blame it on altitude changes, after having been to the top of the mountain on Friday, and down to the end of Scarborough on Sunday. But really, there’s absolutely no excuse for having the blues today. I mean, just look at …
