Bon Bon

It was my best friend Yentyl's 21st yesterday, so some of my friends and I made her a wallhanging. She is originally from Trinidad but has lived in London since she was 7, but is now off to Paris for a year (and potentially for a lot longer).

Due to her frenchyness (she has a french boyfriend) we chose a french and london theme - so obviously red, white and blue... we also wrote 'postcards' from us all addressed to random Parisian places, and stuck cute pictures of eiffel towers and frenchy things. There was also some remnants from our gap year obviously - some scrap materials from Northen Thailand, and some Indian beads, as well as 'polaroids' of us. Anyway, it came together really nicely, (although took me a wee while to sew).

A London Dress

I saw this dress in a shop window in Carnaby Street. It reminded me of my project on tube maps, so I photographed it in order to share it with the world (anyone on here).

I love the way that the dress is actually constructed using a London map - obviously unwearable but such a fun and interesting idea. The shop was selling artwork rather than clothes or dresses, but I think there should be a real dress made like this.
