I found these postcards in Knysna, South Africa, when I was there for a wedding last month. They're so different from the usual touristy ones. The colours and textiles are beautiful, and I especially like the one below. The indigo of the fabrics the girl is wearing and that hibiscus pink look great.
I wished that I had bought more and then noticed that they were taken from a book called "Shack Chic, Art and Innovation In South African Shack Lands" with the photography by Craig Fraser. I'm going to add it to my ever growing list of books I want! If you go to www.quivertree.co.za and click on images you can preview the book and some others which also might have to go on my list.
