A visit to the Winelands

I popped out to Franschoek yesterday to meet with the owners of Ebony and chat about the upcoming Franschoek Literary Festival from the 11th to 14th May.  Excitingly I am going to be creating 12 works for them as well as a massive hanging mobile which I am most excited about.

Below is a rather dodgy photo of the 3 works they currently have - their walls are a dark charcoal which really sets them off.  Very pleased indeed!

Note to self

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

just imagine if everyone did what they really wanted to do.

This only occurred to me quite recently

Still life - where your plastic goes sometimes

Flotsam - worn by the sea (De Hoop)

I gathered all these bits of plastic on the beach in De Hoop Nature Reserve.  Each piece is completely unique as no two bits of plastic I find are the same.

Up-cycling my old lampshade collection

A break from all the admin... look how nicely my leaves are growing

Plant books - made from old Encyclopedia's

The books are hollowed out and then I used a 2 litre milk bottle cut to size to put the plant in.
Simple but nice I think
Not a new idea - it was big in the 70's :-)
The books are all from CAFDA and yes, they know this is what I was doing with them
Phone books and magazines can work for this too

Design Indaba Stand (March 2012)

If anyone has photos of my stand please do send them to me

In all the excitement I never took proper photos... just my mobile phone ones - yuck

Thank you Marika Papapetros for this lovely photo below of my stand

It's on! Design indaba - stand 3005
