i found my teapot

I've been searching the charity shops for a teapot i'd love and this morning i found it! Joy :) Apparantly it's a Sadler teapot and apparantly this is good. I didn't know about Sadler teapots. The lady in the shop asked if I collected them and when I said no she said she expected the teapot back in a couple months when I get bored of it. This won't happen..I love my new teapot and shall use it to serve tea and glee.

Some of my drawings...really quite happy with them! :) I used to hate my drawing...it's as if something has clicked!

Book Colours....reorganising the bookshelf...



I was overcome by a bizarre urge to organise my books by colour :D All I feel now, is why did I never do this before! Eggs.

Also, not just for me, but for my project...hello colours!

Work in Progress Show - Re:Future


My work - print on paper, only visible as shadow when light shines through




Min Nyoung Seo's work - Craft recycling cork, cardboard and carrier bags




Clover Robin's work - layered ghostly photography for wallpaper


I think the show went well :) I had some positive feedback, which is lovely and encouraging to hear. Also, a shove to get industry contacts...I know I should...but it's very daunting!

Alan Aldridge @ Design Museum


Yay colours :) I liked his animal illustrations very much. Best room was set up with big cut out animal figures. I wish I could do such detailed colourful illustrations.

Teapod


After the design museum we needed tea refreshment and teapod is very very good! I wish I lived nearer it...because mmmm yunnan tea and orange&almond cake.

Jean Nouvel again!



I was recommended to research the Institut du Monde Arabe because of its use of shadow and light. I find it was designed by Jean Nouvel, whose shadow kitchen cupboards I like so much!
