Museum of Broken relationships





Lovely visit to the museum of Broken relationships with Ruth, which was almost equal parts sad and funny! My favorite was probably the frisbee which was proceeded by the following rather brilliant text;
Description: a stupid frisbee, bought in a thrift store, was my ex-boyfriend's brilliant idea - as a second anniversary gift. The moral was obviously that he should be smacked with it in the middle of his face the next time he gets such a fantastic idea. Since the relationship is now preceeded by the word 'ex' the frisbee remains in the museum as a nice memory and expelled negative energy. Feel free to borrow it if you like.
P.S Darline if you ever get a ridiculous idea to walk into a cultural institution like a museum for the first time in your life, you will remember me. At least have a good laugh (the only thing you could do on your own).

Brilliant!

Ends & Beginnings

So busy of late, leaving one job and then as it turns out not really leaving it afterall!
I had my last day at South London Gallery a couple of weeks ago but a few emails and a meeting later it seems I'll be back there for a little longer. Didn't even have that much time to miss the place, so pretty pleased about that!

This was drawn by two lovely little ones Ivan and Ricardo who I did a week of workshops and trips with.


I also got some wonderful books from my colleagues and an array of yummies (tea and cakes!) which was super nice of them. This one and this one which I've started and am really into so far.

As for new stuff I'm working on this ArtAngel project which FYI you should all come see! (or hear rather) And say Hi while you're at it!

Been trying to get cracking on some design bits too, working on some flower presses and camera related stuffs so I'll show you all that when I get around to it! slow and steady wins the race right?

Lets be penpals?

Oh internet I do like you a whole bunch, and emails are nice enough to recieve. But really nothing beats the sound the of the post hitting the doormat, unless of course it's just bills!
I love love receiving post and am pretty partial to writing a letter or two. I definitely don't do it enough though so my new resolution is to write more letters!




under the weather breakfast in bed

A little jaunt to Bristol, a new cat, new eyes for one of my best ones (via laser surgery), new job, new plans and a brand spanking new cold! ughhh

i.e for the first time since I can remember I have a cold! and some achy limbs/swollen glands thrown in for good measure. I'm taking it easy between shifts at the new job- lots of tea and yummy dinners cooked for me. And of course a little bit of breakfasting in bed!



I'll tell you about the new job soon and hopefully have some more interesting posts!
Oh and for those who enjoy specificity the breakfast; the most delightful natural yoghurt with apple and granola, copella and a banana

Inspiring spaces

I'm always looking in on other peoples spaces via various outlets allover the internet. It's so inspiring to see where people work and I'm longing to get back to our new studios next month and set up my space for the year.

In the mean time here is my wonderful Sisters little space in the Garden
