July is winter holidays in South Africa and I have discovered a new talent and art which includes making wigs, yes, I said wigs! I have recycled every broken piece of jewellery and art as well as re-shaped and designed my stylish evening wear. Yep, this winter I decided to be selfish and not give away my winter outfits, which the tumble dryer had shrunk. haha. It can never be my weight.
My gorgeous daughter, Tendai has joined me on this project and we are still to find a name & perhaps models for this new recycling business of ours, but so far so good. My friendly elderly neighbours have sampled our hats and wigs and have come back with good compliments as well as our feather earring.
I wore my dads ties as a skirt/apron to the Vodacom July and felt like I had celebrated him and my new skills of needlework, coz that's what it really is. My tools of the trade have really included: a pair of sharp scissors, different sized needles, glue, cotton/fish wire and putting bits and pieces together. We have mosaiced ceramic tiles, mirrors, old cd's with scratches, handbags and wow, who knew that story telling & creating new songs while working could be such fun. Those who know me know that singing is not my strength, whatsoever but mother & daughter bonding has never felt this good.
HERE is to ART. The passion to follow your heART!
Tune to Art Attack on www.gagasiradio.fm every Thursday and tell tell a friend to tell a friend, to do the same! And do follow my food blog: that I write when I am not too busy recycling lol...www.blackolivesandbluecheese.blogspot.com and my travelblog that is also missing one too many updates: www.mankwalidestination.wordpress.com.
With love
The Good Girl, Finding her Artistic Heaven!
