landscape with mandrake


Sometimes, I like to 'read my fortune' in my coffee grounds. This works best with the thick Turkish coffee, but if you let the silt in your mug settle and pour the liquid carefully away, little pictures appear. It often looks like a landscape to me, but a few weeks back I drew a sketch of what I saw.


Rick said 'it's a mandrake!', I had to look this up. It turns out to be quite a curious thing. So for the last few weeks I have been turning this little vision into something I can hang on the wall...
