    About this ebook

    Ramsalte is making pencil portrait drawings and water-based pictures with colors made from spices. He paints with acrylic paint on framed canvas and on beach rock shaped and rounded off by grinding of the waves. He makes voodoo-dolls and he makes ink and pencil drawings based on memories from his trips up the rivers and into the jungles at the time he spent in Borneo and he writes books based on his memories.

    The icing on the
    cake is nothing
    simple or nothing
    fake the master
    signature the
    ultimate touch
    The icing on the
    cake is the final
    choice that only
    you can make.

    The icing on the
    cake the cutting
    edge and final
    input to impress
    with all in hand
    and all at stake
    A steady hand is
    what it takes to
    make the icing
    on the cake.
