Handmade Trinket Bowls (black)
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:)
approx 11,5 W x 4,5 H cm

Overnight A Jungle Grew
Quick Overview
For this original painting, I used shapes from different plants in my garden. I combined colour and pattern to contrast them against each other, the overall effect becoming quite vivid with detail, tone and texture. There are many layers and many marks!

Moths are probably my favourite creatures, and I have an obsession with dots, so this is one of my favourite combinations!
Limited edition fine art print.
The ink has a lovely rich, velvety quality to it, which is enhanced by the slightly textured paper. You can still see the detail of how I used gouache paint for the dots in the original painting.

Felt Cosmetic Bags
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!
