My humming was done in acrylic paint on watercolour paper.

Celebrating the artichoke some more
These are pen on paper, layered with photographs.
The textures were photographs taken in Taiwan, Yingge (鶯歌), a small pottery town, a 30-minute train ride south of Taipei City.
We were lucky enough to be taken on a personal tour by a pottery designer into one of the pottery studios close to the old streets.
We found a small courtyard where all the left-over pottery paint were dumped over walls and the cement floor. These wonderful textures where the result.
These prints would look great in a kitchen with a rustic feel. I sell them in Touchee Feelee’s Etsy shop, printed on a 300 gram bright matte fine art paper. It’s also archival certified for 100 years.

Celebrating the artichoke
This was the first time I painted an artichoke. Never ate them either. Has anyone ever seen these for sale in Cape Town? I think the closest thing we have to an artichoke is a Protea. They must be family, I definitely see a resemblance.
The paper went all wrinkly as you can see, but I sorted that out in Lightroom, the archival prints are positively wrinkle-free.
Maybe I should draw a Protea next…

Guesthouse CD cover
For those of you who don’t know about ‘Shoot for board‘, it’s a project my husband, Louw, and I started in 2011 where we photograph resorts, lodges, home-stays and guesthouses around the world FOR FREE and then stay and eat there for free as well. So far we’ve stayed in Taiwan, India and South Africa for free. Usually when we’re traveling I don’t design a CD cover for the CD’s we give containing the photographs, but for the one we did in Cape Town, I did make one since we moved back to South Africa for good.
La Rose is a charming guesthouse in Bo-Kaap, Rose Street. It’s owned by a French man and his South African wife…lovely people. Anyway, I drew then painted this little rose especially for them and printed it on a simple CD sleeve made from fabriano .

The purple one (metal over glass)
This one reminds me of the 1920′s. The purple bubbles represents the smell spreading.

Frangipani flowers are one of my favorite smells in the world. I did this drawing with pen and watercolour paint.
