This is the cover of my 2001-2003 sketchbook. It used to be my mom’s recipe book. She had lots of recipe’s which were cut out from magazines pasted in it. I took out those recipes and put it in a file.
I saw on the news Saartjie Baartman is coming home.
One of the Professors at technikon gave me a dead rat – beautifully preserved. This is a drawing of that rat.
I needed some silkworms for a piece I was working on. I received some worms from a pre-school. The page on the left is a note from the teacher of that school and a leaf eaten by the worms.
The texture on this page is created with snakeskin.
I dont remember in which book I found the above image. Only now I realize that this image eventually served for the recent sculptures I made for the “skeidingsangs” exhibition.
Wonderful sketches! I especially love the dead rat…you drew it with such loving tender care…I love rats anyway…and thank YOU for your “follow”…seems we do have quite a bit in common, as I too love bones and dead things…plus love drawing and creating my dead creepy baby dolls…Keep on creating your beautiful works!
~Cheers from your new follower/friend 🙂
Thank for the kind words Debi. Yes indeed. Will do. You too. x
