Here she is!

After 4 years in the stitching, the monkey-bride is ready to make her appearance. It’s not only her dress that required sewing but her entire wedding party from guests of zebras, wild dogs, giraffe and children to the actual venue under the trees.

MONKEY’S WEDDING is finally at the publisher, all 16 of the embroidered and appliqued panels of which it comprises.  In all fun it is a silly romp about nothing much in particular, in all seriousness it is about how urban children who live in high rise, Johannesburg, connect with nature through the weather.

Here is the front cover and a couple of double spreads from the rough version:

Monkey's-Wedding-2-1

Monkey's-Wedding-2-3

Monkey's-Wedding-2-5

Monkey's-Wedding-2-12
