Fient Lifestyle Gallery

 
 This is an opportunity to show you the brand new Fient Lifestyle Gallery in Duncan Yard, Pretoria. The owner and curator Cecily Pohl (above) has been a friend and loyal supporter of my art and lifestyle products for years.
She started out in a small gallery (a tenth of this space!) and stuck it out through good and bad times.
When this amazing space became available right across from her old gallery she grabbed the opportunity with both hands.
The gallery now showcases the work of top SA artists in art, furniture, ceramics and a range of gifts and clothing.
Every month she has a new exhibition which keeps getting more popular.
 
Well done Cecily, I am proud of you!

heART in the Piazza

 
Some photos of last weekend's heART in the Piazza. It was a great exhibition with stunning art, furniture and gifts. A big thanks to Johan Alberts and his team for pulling off such a spectacular event. Looking forward to next year.


As you can see, a lot of browsing was done :)

iPad covers

After a lot of requests I started making iPad covers. They are made from the same durable felt I use for al my felt products. The front part is lined with a soft matching colour felt for extra protection.

Kamersvol Geskenke - Bloemfontein 2012

 
The last few months passed in a wink of an eye. My time was totally consumed with preparations for Kamersvol Geskenke. One realy needs to understand the time it takes to do felt work to appreciate it.
Every single felt item was cut and sewn by hand, my hands :)
 
The exhibition was a big success. People came from all over to find true original, handmade designs.
Putting together my stand was quite a process but worth it in the end.
Thank you all the friendly people of the Free State, I had a great time.
Now work can begin for the next Kamers in Irene end of November.
