Discovered Again: Nuba Tribal Body Decoration
This is another drawing I did years ago of a woman from the Nuba tribe. The decorative patterns on her body are created by scarification.
In Sight: Interiors
I’m having a sketching day and thought I’d sketch a few interiors that I love. My cushions would look great in these rooms!
Loving Now: Contrasting Materials & Techniques
Yoga Now: Teacher Training
I did my Yoga Teacher Training at a beautiful retreat centre in the south of Spain. A wonderful environment to fully immerse yourself and learn. The 3 week intense course covered the history and philosophy of yoga, anatomy, learning the Sankrit names of over 100 poses, their correct alignment and how to assist students.
In Sight: traditional Peruvian knitted chullos (hats)
…I came across a beautiful collection of chullos, an Andian style hat with earflaps… They were incredibly fine that it was hard to believe they had been hand knitted. The complex geographic patterns used multiple colours and they were beautifully finished with a tiny scalloped edge.
Discovered Again: Eastern European Architecture
These quick drawings were done whilst travelling around Eastern Europe in 2001. I love to sketch when I travel and sometimes it captures a place better than a photo. These sketches were done in Prague (Czech Republic), Krakow/Cracow (Poland), Pécs and Budapest (Hungary).
