Today, I love copper...

We all need a little bling in our lives. I am loving the combination of matte and shiny, dusty and polished, black, white and copper...

I am loving pincushions...

The pincushions are absolutely exquisite this year. Driving over Ou Kaapse Weg this weekend, the mountain is ablaze with these flame orange and yellow curious wonders.
I love the combination of charcoal black ceramics with the orange flowers. It seems reminiscent of how nature regenerates itself after the fires that occasionally ravage the mountain.
So, in homage to beautiful Cape Town and Table Mountain....

I am loving typography.....

Black, white, grey and red......beautiful.

Today, I love circles...

I have not made plates in such I long time. Sometimes, it is good to step away for a while and then come back  with fresh eyes and a new approach. I am really pleased with these, they were conceived in a very spontaneous way with black marker and tippex in the dead of the night. It is also fun to get back into printing methods, like stencilling, I haven't used since college days.

Food and Art

This my offering for the Art in Clay  festival lunch to be hosted by La Quatier Francais and IS ART later in the month. I am excited to see what Margot Janse of The Tasting Room creates to serve on this bowl.
