Buttons

Been spending the day making button jewellery to sell at the Doodle Market on December 13th. Looking good so far, lots more to be made.

Revisiting my dissertation

I have noticed a few advertising campaigns and articles recently on the topic of recycling and of plastic bags, and I thought I would re visit the topic of my dissertation. Its almost one year on since I finished writing it, and there has been many new articles and company policies changed since then. So I'm looking into what has changed to see the developments.

Doodle Christmas Market

On 13th December me and two friends are having a stall at the Doodle Christmas market, at the Doodle Bar in Battersea, so if you would like to buy any of my things pop on down! Tell your friends as there are lots of stands so will prob be able to find some good christmas presents for your friends and family. www.thedoodlebar.com

Restore

I did my first day at ReStore Community Projects today. They are a non profit organisation who have furniture and appliances donated to them, and then sell them on the people with low incomes and people on benefits.

I was doing some restoration of the older furniture, and also selling it on.

I really enjoyed my day, met some really nice people and looking forward to going back.

Funny Fruit

Victor Man

The free exhibition space at the Hayward Gallery is currently exhibiting works from Victor Man. I didn't really like the paintings on display, I much preferred the illustration below. 

Design museum

Visited the design museum this week, but there was only one exhibition on currently, David Chipperfield.

"With a style that is restrained, quiet and thoughtful, David Chipperfield is of one of Britain’s leading architects. He has a huge international reputation and completed buildings in China, Japan, Italy, USA, Spain and Germany. Chipperfield produces subtle and sophisticated buildings, from museums to homes, with an acute sensitivity for materials and a powerful awareness of their environment."

vintage shop

After my visit to the book shop I came across a nice vintage shop called Calneva. Had vinyl records, furniture, clothes and bits and pieces. Also on Creek Road in Greenwich.
