The Green Door

Around the corner from where I live is a house with a green door
with strange metal work on it.

When I first saw this entrance I decided it was a witches house
or perhaps a Wizard lived there.

Once the door was slightly open and a ginger cat slipped out to sit in front of the mysterious green door, a strange ticking sound, like a metronome came from within.

Oh, I am curious about this green door and who dwells behind it! 

Sketch Warz

Warren Raysdorf (Talented Cartoonist, also know as my boyfriend) and I collaborated on this live art drawing as part of a street festival in Durban. We had black permanent markers, black PVA paint and 3 hours. Live art can be fun yet daunting. There were amazing dance performances going on at the same time so focusing was very hard!

A Lovely Sunny Winters Afternoon

 A few weeks ago I had a lovely time crocheting around and around in bright pink cotton yarn with a plastic teal hook. I enjoyed the colours so much that sunny afternoon.

Mitsuko  stayed close, enjoyed the sun and sitting on the plants, which she often does.

It's fun to create your own worlds with paint.

Introducing Vaughn and Creepy Steve

Fabric Friends and Sunday Afternoons

Creepy Steve chats to Charlotte in front of a cushion I made from a vintage tea towel.

Fabric Friends

Lately I've been making some lovely new friends, out of bits and pieces of fabric and felt.
I've really enjoyed making them and think I'll make a few more very soon.

 

Above from left to right: Babushka (the daughter of a Russian showgirl), Creepy Steve, charlotte (who has told me she is a Pisces), and Vaughn (a Scandinavian environmentalist).

 

 

And then I made a few more! In the vanity case you'll find Vaughn (not to be confused with our dear environmentalist) Betty and Kinki Utsuri (the kimono clad Geisha).

The felt white rabbit was made by Gina from Ginas Studio in Muizenberg.

Mitsuko, my dear feline friend also took a liking to them, even though she did give Betty quite a rough time the other day, yet nothing my needle and a bit of thread cannot mend.
