If you've been following our adventures for a while now, you'll notice a fun change on the blog today: A brand new look! I wanted to change the old header in order to give it a bit more of a South African feel, plus, of course, to include Baby J and I'm thrilled with the way it turned out. Hope you like it too!

The illustration for the new header was done by Heidel Dedekind of Heidekind Illustrations - love her work! Heidel somehow took my very non-artistic, logical left-brained ideas and transformed them into exactly what I wanted and so much more: Her illustration perfectly captures the character of our family and is so uniquely South African. I love it.
Thanks for following our journey - here's to many more adventures!

ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Stefano!
DeleteWonderful family portrait, love it. And yes, that's Africa - right down to the hoopoe perched on the post.....
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gordon. The hoopoe was Heidel's (the artist's) idea - I love how she incorporated small details like that to make the illustration say "Africa" :) .
DeleteLove the header! I also love Table Mountain in the background :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! No better way to say "South Africa" than by putting Table Mountain in the background, right? That was also Heidel's brilliant idea :) .
DeleteThis is awesome, so fresh, and real.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Paul - much appreciated! :)
DeleteI love the new look! It fits what your blog is all about perfectly! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hailey! I also think Heidel did a fantastic job with capturing exactly what the blog's about in the illustration. Love it :) !
DeleteBeautiful!! I love it. I would enjoy a drawn creation of my own family :) this is great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Raina! I strongly recommend Heidel if you ever really consider an illustration of your own family. And the best part is that everything is done online, so your location won't be a problem even though she's based in SA :) .
