I got it!
Oh, how happy I am!
I'm so very pleased with my pretty ring and got compliments all day.
I'm the proud owner of this gorgeous ring from Skermunkil, only 5 were made.
Nice.
*Feeling nice every time I put my eyeballs on it.


Speaking of Skermunkil, here is the background that I illustrated for them for the Joburg Food Wine Design Fair. It's so very big!

The Miss Texas Show last week was much fun.
If you weren't there, I think you may have missed the best one yet.
Adam Hill was fantastic on lap steel, Gene hadn't been smoking for a while which made his voice crystal clear and rad, Julia played a plethora of little instruments to embellish the songs, Abbey Hatcher jumped in for a song and so did I!
(That's me looking solemn in the back of the pic)

It was fun, the Waiting Room was packed with lovely people and the vibe was nice.
Look out for the next one.

I came across this photograph today on the site, vectroave, and it reminded me of a shoot I did a couple of years ago with Justin Badenhorst, back when I was a blondie.

Yay!
I've come across some illustration that has given me INSTANT heart palpitations.
Eleanor Davis' paintings and illustrations are so interesting and intriguing, I had to share them here.

Love those lines.
To look at more of Eleanor Davis' work, go to her website doing fine.

Yoh, I'm nice.
I've made you not one, but two free gift tags!
They're black and grey (so they won't munch on the colour cartridge) and you can print them on anything you like. I've even made a little circle to show you were to punch the hole.

Wow, I can't believe how nice I am.
Download them here (right) and here (left)

Miss Texas is playing tonight at the waiting room!
Come check them out.
I'm going to sing a little song with them too.
CDs and T-shirts for sale :)
Nice.

I was thinking about Xmas presents and buying handmade/local etc and I looked around me to see what my cat eyes could see. In just my small group of friends, I have found a plethora of beautiful things to buy!

No way!
More markets!

I popped into Empire today for a coffee and to research some illustration styles and this happens.

I merged David and my faces.
meet:
Lavid

and Dauren.

For more silly photos of Thaya and I, visit here.

Yay!
Tomorrow is car free Friday!
I'm taking my bicycle into town this afternoon and going to hang out and ride the city here:

So, make sure you do at least one trip tomorrow without using your car.
Ride bike, skip, walk, run, unicycle, cartwheel, whatever you want!

We're having a Christmas Market!

I'm in the DIY Design Indaba magazine this month.
I illustrated a "how to" for Heath Nash's Kurukuru-Maki chair.
They also wrote a really nice write up for me.

The lovely people at Design Indaba magazine.
I love them, they love me.

The pictures of my plants, as promised.
My cute little cups of basil.
MY potting and rehab centre.
I also bottled some of my worm tea, I diluted it 1 part worm tea to 3 parts water.
Think I may sell some of this at the next market.


I'm growing more nasturtiums in a pot away from the ahpid infested wall area.
My one singular pansie.
And my beautiful aloe flower thingy.
I don't know what they're called, but I love them most.

I bought this cheap watch from the flea market in Muizenberg, also these 2 keys.


I bought these 2 antique rings from the Gift Affair and this necklace from my friend nina.
Buying things makes me feel good and then really empty inside.
Buy things. Feel good, then bad.
Yay.

I've become quite fond of gardening lately!
I like how rewarding it is and how your plant can love you back from just a bit of care.

I spent most of the day potting herbs, taking cuttings from other plants and replanting, cutting back and spraying my nasturtiums which unfortunately have aphids.
I've also got quite a few snails in my garden.
They freak me out. I don't like the idea of putting them in with my rubbish.
Too creepy, so, I found this article and I think I'm gonna go with the coffee method.

I didn't take any pics of my plants, will do tomorrow.
I drew a picture instead.

I put together some nice things that I've seen with my eyeballs.
For Her:

*OMG look at those boots!!

For Him:

Yay!
We're having a fun night time!
Blog this poster and come on down!

You can win all kinds of rad stuff and there's going to be a raffle.
I like raffles.
I'm putting in some gift cards and a hoop!
Miss Texas is putting in a CD and one of those t-shirts I illustrated.

I took this picture on my way to Kometjie today.
It was nice.
My friend has a tattoo on his arm that says,

"the sky belongs to everyone"

I think that's beautiful.
I wanted to share.

I illustrated this for a Miss Texas t-shirt.
Not sure why I didn't blog about it.
Here it is!
You can order your own screenprinted cotton t-shirt off their facebook page or contact me.
Their R150 and available in all sizes.

Remember this shoot?
The one where I'm on the chair?
Well, the exhibiton is taking place this evening.
I'll be selling my cards and brooches, come on down for a drink and look at the pretty pictures and people.
Nice.

I came across this website, Adeline Adeline, via Design Sponge bicycle mini trend page and nearly cried when i saw these beautiful bicycle basket accessories!!
