HEAVY PENCIL

On Thursday we are hosting Heavy Pencil at the ICA. The night is playing big sister to the Birds Eye View closing party in the theatre. The theme is Femme Fatales and we have teamed up with our good friend Iain Woods aka {Psychologist } to present a night of making, costume and performance.

Come and watch the night get decidedly dangerous......

It is being held at

I have just had a great weekend installing our Book Rainbow in the design museum to represent YCN in the competion linked above. Billed as the critic choice in Time Out (the show not our piece) and described as this on the Design Museum's website as "Now in their third year, the Brit Insurance Designs Awards "the Oscars of the design world" showcase the most innovative and forward thinking designs from around the world." It opens on Wednesday the 17th, judging starts a week on Wednesday. Good luck YCN!!

oh yeh!

Have a go Tuesday!

So I've been working pretty hard on some stuff for my MA in between pitching for various jobs. There are few ideas that I have been working on for a while. One of the ideas is a film I'm working on at the moment. This is still of me eating my lunch. I filmed it in the studio but it's when I've watched it back it feels a little dead. I think it needs a to be a bit more uncomphortable so I'm in the process of trying to take it into the outside world! Watch this space or at your local swimming pool!

Spring clean

I was dusting down some of the hordes or crap I have in my room, questioning whether I should rid my self of some of it? When one particularly loved and great (but not working since I got it at the market for 50p and with no straps) piece of tat fell of my window ledge. As it hit the floor it started to tick. Brilliant now it works and I have no reason to feel like I should get rid of it, this has actually made my day.

Other great things this weekend were these highribbons found in Rolls and Rems

and this lady forcing her rather unwilling child to put my hat on, and have his photo taken on the train when I was going home! (please excuse the crap I-phone photos)

Right where to start. About 5 months ago lauren found these taps in a junk shop in Edmonton. I had seen them before and had been asked by my mum to look out for them as her friend had been searching for years for them. So while I was busy asking about mirrors that we needed for a shoot Lauren picked up this hefty bath pourer and obviously brought them. I was most jealous but imagine my joy when I found a full set at Wimbledon car boot sale last week. It's just missing the sink taps but I now am the proud owner of two light fittings a toilet roll holder toothbrush holder and soap dish and bath taps. To be honest I don't have a house or a bathroom of my own to put them in but soon come! In my dream house the bath tap will actually be my kitchen sink tap and the rest will be in my en suite bathroom.



So anyway my mum gave the these for Christmas, I got such brilliant presents. They are for salt and pepper holders made by Limoges a french ceramics make with a gold luster. The other great prezzy I got was a beautiful crochet quilt my auntie has been making for me of years. I love it.



So back to the gold swans. I have developed a love for Jane Mansfield. Look at her house! the pink palace in LA. I think I will model my dream house on hers. Full towelling bathroom?!

(p.s.) having real blogger issues. Have had to remove some pics as they won't go to the right size and they words keep coming up funny. Hmmmm frustrating, sorry about that but hoping I have it sorted now.....

This week i have mostly been watching...

Eurotrash. Yup that old fave. Since 40d has decided to show me the highlights of the 90's who am I to not indulge and indulge I have. I tell you Snog Marry or avoid has NOTHING on this love-in.

Do they do 'em in gloss and matte? Fluoro / metallic? Or is that just taking it to a next level? SEEEEEEEYA. X
