Giles Miller


Previously I posted about Greypants cardboard lampshades...then Stephanie showed me Giles Miller's cardboard work which takes it alittle furthur - working in floral designs. It's lovely but so expensive! I guess it must be alot of work. I'd like to have a go though :) Work in some sillhouettes! Giles Miller is part of Farm...so that's where you can see all his stuff and other lovely stuff.

Richard Burel



I was in Castle Combe's gallery on the bridge when I saw Richard Burels work :) Mmm texture and simplicity...also he lives in Bath I think. And I think these paintings are of Bath. And I love Bath.

From Atoms to Patterns @ Wellcome Collection



I heart the Wellcome collection! It's free AND open till 10pm on a thursday. This is genius! More stuff should be open later in the evening...some people work in the week and don't want to cram in on a saturday!

From Atoms to Patterns is really interesting and beautiful. I love the connection between science and design, and that these designs are representing something real yet just look like beautiful geometric patterns.

Villages and Gardens








Last weekend I popped back to the countryside to see my parents :) It was so beautiful! I love spring flowers and their garden was full full full of my very favourite forget-me-nots :D The first 4 photos are the garden. My mum is neatly inside a rectangle on the 4th :) It looks creepy. Much walking was done in nearby villages. The last 3 photos are Castle Combe. The last picture looks like a fairyland :D

Jean Nouvel


I LOVE this! I wish I had done it...beautiful translucent lit up kitchen storage sillhouetting the contents :D lovely lovely lovely. It is by Jean Nouvel for the Corian Nouvel Lumières project. Now i'm looking at this Corian, it's so nice! Some kind of acrylic mix with minerals or something...with lovely translucency. I need to get hold of some...

FAT


Ahh! I've discovered who is behing the lovely design of Peyton and Byrne (beautiful delicious bakery I've mentioned before) and Meals at Heals :) It is FAT, a London based architecture/interiors group. They've done much lovely stuff :) Including the KKoutlet, some sort off bookshop/art gallery I really want to go to.

The Economist


I've been enjoying this ad for The Economist while waiting for the tube. It's attractive and clever I think.
