And
now
for something
completely different:
This will
later come under
a 'shop' section when I find
time to do that, but for now, I'd
like to use this page to announce
my latest passion: Paper sculptures
called DappleShades.
They're made of Tyvek, which looks and
feels like rice-paper, with a beautiful texture and
translucency, but with the robust qualities provided
by polyethylene. This material is used for many things
but it gives you some idea of how durable it is when you're
told that nurseries use it for the tags on their plants. And yes, it
is recyclable.
What I
love about it most is how it behaves. The new owner can curl the 'leaves'
to their own taste once they've got it home. They ship in tubes and can be
posted anywhere in the world. Currently my only outlet is at Artvark, Kalk
Bay. They've opened a new shop in the Cape Quarter, for which I've been requested
to make five more.
Shown here is the 800 x 1000mm DappleShade, but larger ones are in the pipeline
and photos will be posted once those are photographed. Three
different varieties are currently available and pictures will also be posted
as soon as I can photograph them.

to view a slideshow of a custom-made blind 1.350mm x 1020mm. The client has
chosen not to 'curl' the leaves but to leave them relatively flat, which has
its own, completely different beauty. Contact
me for more details or to order.
