'Wisdom begins in wonder'. Socrates was right:)

Handmade & handpainted,  I'm getting back to drawing, just on a different surface. One of a kind, as always.

Cobalt painted on earthenware clay, fine details scratched off with sgrafitto technique, finished off with transparent glaze.

Quick Overview

Handmade and handpainted, these little bowls are all complete one-offs, and have been a joy to make.  They all have an idiom or proverb painted along the bottom, and are small individual artworks. Painted with cobalt powder and using a technique called sgrafitto to scratch out the detail has had me finding my old self again:)

Quick Overview

I've finally gotten around to learning how to form a bowl from clay with my own hands, and then paint my own image onto it!  Its been a learning curve, and I don't think you can ever know everything about ceramics even if you spend your whole life doing it! But I'm looking forward to learning and doing more!

These are small trinket bowls, made from earthenware clay.  Images are painted with black underglaze and then scratched to get the fine detail - a technique called sgrafitto, which I absoloutely love.

Each bowl has a proverb or idiom running along the bottom.  They are all one of a kind:)

Quick Overview

This fabric design is taken from an original painting I did, playing with many layers of lines on top of lines on top of colour.  Each bag is different to the next, because life's too short to have the same thing as everyone else.

The bags are made from recycled felt - and recycled felt is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles! So consider this a way to help keep plastic bottles out of the landfill.  15 plastic bottles are used per square metre of felt, so one bag uses just over 2 plastic bottles.

23 L x 17 H x 6 W cm

Fronts & backs are different colours, and my little logo of AA is handstitched on the bottom corner of each of them.

Machine washable.

Not lined inside.

Made in South Africa, of course.

Not necessarily only for cosmetics!

Quick Overview

This was the second in a series of chairs that I started a little while ago.  It's called 'Garden After Party', and it came from that feeling of nostalgia  - the plastic one on the the stoep, the wire one out on the lawn, the deckchair folded up in the garage, still with a bit of sand on from the day at the beach. They represent the memories and the times they were part of; and isn't it funny how we can all relate to these chairs?!

Quick Overview

This is one of my first punchneedle pillows I made, when I was still using the little cross design on my ceramics. It's timeless, though, and works well in just about any space.
