Ideal Day At The Ideal Home Show

 Amazing!!

Giant cheese straw and only £2.. what more could a girl ask for?!?

Heaven?

Single most amazing thing I think I have ever seen in my whole life. No words.

<3 heheeeee

Grumpy pug!

This is my fave. Want one.

Just casually in my pjs, experimenting with light, pattern, shadows - looking at movement of light through different objects and surfaces and how it can be cast onto the body... standard night in! 

 

Mouth piece made from vaccumed plastic and string

Casting interesting shapes in the form of shadows onto the body. Temporary and adjustable jewellery - playful jewellery.

Playing with surface texture and using one piece in different areas of the body. This shadow was cast onto the forearm and reminds me of scales - illusion of scales/ surreal textures. Illusions of birth marks, scars, deformity, skin conditions etc.

Had a fab evening chilling at Chilangos on Chancery Lane for the WIWT get together. Lush food... lush cider!!, nice atmosphere and well-dressed people! Managed to get a few business cards out there so hello if youre coming over from meeting me tonight!

Pattern-books for women. Samuri women followed the fashions of the times, commissioning their robes to be made according to the latest pattern books.

Reminds me of the current 'Charmed Life' Exhibition at the Wellcome Collection. Copper Bells - Isla De Sacrificios, 'ensouled' by the face that appears on the front. Rattles, shell trumpets, drums and bells were all invested with living qualities in this manner. The bells hung from costumes would sound in keeping with the movement and rythm of the choreographed dances.

Recycled metal foil bottle-neck wrappers, copper wise.

Masks representing crocoldiles, sharks and swordfish. Nigeria 19th century.
