I love baking, I have baked all my life, it makes me smile. I have been learning about and experimenting with different types of prints.

Coffee

I learnt how to make paper leather by coating handmade paper with a special glue and scrunching it up multiple times until I got the right texture I liked. I ripped a page from an old book and used different ripped pieces for my background. I found coffee beans in a magazine and cut them into narrow strips. I dripped strong black coffee onto my collage as if it spilt out of the cup. I work at a cafe, and I love coffee.
