If you haven't discovered "Dispatch From LA", you have a treat in store! Mary-Ann Moss, who is a primary teacher (or Monkey Whisperer, as she calls it) has for several years been writing a superbly idiosyncratic take on life in California, the wonderful art journals she makes, and her unusual choice of foreign holidays. Her three cats and her collection of family and friends make guest appearances
Over the last year she has also offered online art courses for those who want to know how to do her style of stencilling with spray paint, make up small stenciled books or bind up an entire journal from all the odds and ends you have lying around at home. Her instructions are clear as day and her video tutorials manage to be both informative and frequently hilarious. Check out her sidebar too for a fascinating list of other blogs.

The photo on this post is of the Chelsea Flower Show display by the Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden a year or two ago - Kirstenbosch is possibly my favourite place on this planet, housing a magnificent collection of the Western Cape flora, and I make a point of visiting whenever I am in Cape Town. Enjoy - I'll be posting other photos on later posts.
