Happy Campers

This is me and my friend Emily at Camp Bestival in Dorset last weekend. We were on our way to the comedy tent when we were snapped by one of the Sunday Times Style magazine special festival paparazzi. Its a pretty good memento to have of a brilliant weekend!

For The Love of Light

I can't remember when or where on the internet I first came across this limited edition book of polaroid photographs, but having read about the project a couple of times I swiftly placed an order, despite not knowing an awful lot about what I would be getting. I'm sure the fact that there are only 500 of the little things contributed to my strong desire to own one of them. Well, it arrived in the post last week, and although I haven't spent much time looking at it yet, it is very inspiring and had some really beautiful images in it. I'm starting to think I should stop spending my spare money on clothes and start looking out for more beautiful, lasting, satisfying things just like this. 

beebs

I was so ridiculously excited to see these little creatures I'd made a while back get their picture on the big screen (well, the internet). They're on sale in a tiny gallery in Cornwall owned by a friend, and every now and then we sell one, which is a disproportionate joy! They are - fairly unimaginatively - called Beebs, after my label, but it seems to suit them.

I also made these birds for the gallery, and gave one to a friend for her birthday a few months ago, and she loved it without knowing what on earth it was, until a few weeks ago when she told me how pleased she'd been with her 'half-moon cushion' (whatever that might be) and I had to tell her to turn it 90 degrees and look out for the eyes and wings!! Perhaps simple isn't always best.

Alicia Bock

I've just taken delivery of a gorgeous photographic print from Alicia Bock, bought from her Etsy store. It took quite a while to decide which to go for, having narrowed it down to the "Through the Viewfinder" series, which have such a great old-fashioned look to them. Finally I bit the bullet and went for this one, and it arrived so quickly and so well wrapped with a hand written note and a smaller print included, that now I'm just wondering when - and for whom - I can buy my next one! (I'm not sure what type of flowers these are, but I'm always drawn to them.)
