About Me

Faces around Cape Town. - FACT is a partnership — part community project, part photographic expression. FACT is an interpretation of life in and around Cape Town. It is a progressive venture with colourful photographs taken by myself of characters around our beautiful city. I have chosen to present these photographs on fabric. The fact range includes limited edition hand bags and prints as well as cushions, cards, coasters, paperweights, scented soy wax candles and keyrings. In addition is a range of bags, cushions, lamps, coasters and paperweights with beautiful images of south african scenes - wild life, farmlands and flora. When purchasing a limited edition product from faces around cape town, you assist in providing books for the schools that the children from Rooidakke Township attend.

GOSH! Its been a while.

Looks like I have been otherwise engaged as I have not updated my blog in a long while.  I guess I got side tracked and have been busy focussing on other things.  That is not to say that Faces Around Cape Town has suffered, we have been hard at work all this time .....creating, making up and presenting our new creations at my shop at the V and A Waterfront in Cape Town, which was going very well until Lockdown in South Africa.  That started three days ago, so I am now taking this time to update and will get my blog back up to speed and show you some of my new creations. I've got at least three weeks of down time so   WATCH THIS SPACE......   more info contact me on jo@factdesigns.co.za

INTRODUCING the inclusion of needlework and trims in the FACT Limited Edition Range.

Cushion (approx. 50cmx50cm) Zebra 2 with hand crafted needlework in pinks with pink piping and pink chenille back
Uniquely different, no two cushions from my needlework range will be exactly the same.

                               FACT donates books to the Khulani Day care Creche in Botriver.                  Giving back is a big part of FACT DESIGNS.  I strongly believe that a lack of education sits at the core of the many obstacles we face here.   With part of our proceeds we buy books for children in disadvantaged communities.   JO - FACT DESIGNS
