Coffee Sleeves

Still experimenting with the coffee skirts, the possibilities seem endless but while I am intrigued by what is happening, no one way has grabbed me. And when I can't "see" anymore I go back to photographing the bottom of the coffee cups. The cafe in the village has been very kind, saving them for me; the only problem is they have been washing them out. I explained what I was doing and now they look at me with big smiles on their faces. Not sure if I haven't just claimed village idiot status.

  1. Just be proud of your new status in the village. I enjoy your updates. I can imagine playing with yarn in a similar way

  2. Are the pictures you're showing photos? Or drawings? Or etchings even? They remind me of black and white etchings, that's why I ask. Regardless of the medium, I've loving your exploration of coffee cups.

    1. Hi Jennifer, these are drawings/mixed media, charcoal, pastels, both oil and chalk, graphite and what ever else is n the table. The charcoal is filthy to work with but gives such deep blacks.
