African Art - ceramic and textile.

The Antelope mask-inspired piece of punchneedle work is now completed.




It took quite a time, and a fair amount of thread! (Punchneedle is a bit thread-greedy)

...but I really enjoyed doing it...

...and have now started on another design :-)

African art is definitely a theme right now!

Robyn's last post included a link to Clementina Van Der Walk's site...

...showing the work of this South African ceramicist...

....including a picture of a piece to which Robyn had treated herself.

I commented on how small the world is..

...and maybe should have said that great minds think alike too :-)...

...because I bought a piece last year, at an exhibition at the Art Shop and Gallery...

...just down the road from me.

Here it is...





I absolutely love it!

(You'll find some similar items in her "One Off" ceramics section)




I'll be back tomorrow with a cup of tea...
