So again here I sit in the middle of a seemingly cold winter night, hunched behind the screen of my laptop, layered in various blankets and coffee …… Researching (and looking like the hunched-back of Notre Dame.) My quest for breaking free from the cave of the “not knowing” continues, still looking for my wizardContinue reading “The form, object, knowledge, Hegel, Plato, Socrates…… My mind, the philosophy mess….. at the moment.”

So many broken faces, so little healing spaces. – by Stephanie Esterhuizen

Even an old T shirt can have a new message.

To Design, To Create, To Make, To Change… To Just Be.

  To create garments for me is not just the purpose of making extra income, It is a form of expression, a form of release and a form to change someone’s perspective on life or more importantly of themselves.   When I start creating patterns and ideas for what the client wants, I tend to interpretContinue reading “To Design, To Create, To Make, To Change… To Just Be.”
