Once in a Lifetime.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me with the OncePrint business. I will be adding a gallery section containing photographs from artists and photographers . If you would like to contribute let me know and send me a sample of your work. If selected, I will explain the commission and pricing.

In the meanwhile a sample of my work.

Do it yourself. Making it yourself.

I like to keep busy and I am. My new assistant, Val, and I were chatting about making boerewors (a South African sausage) .I never could have guessed at Val's industriousness within a week I was sending my recipe and talking about the mincer. Val managed to locate an old cast iron hand mincer (see below). With bags of fresh spices we setup, roasted the coriander, cracked the pepper and cubed the meat. The thing is this. To grind the meat feed the sausage and guide the finished work into a spiral.
Thanks to Val and thanks to John and Linda.
