Somthing Strange is happening...

A rare anomaly has occurred right here on our blog...A black hole!
During the last post a sneaky black hole found its way onto the page. I have consulted the worlds top scientists and they have come the conclusion that it may be because of too many hits on the space bar; another theory is that a picture decided it no longer wanted to be displayed on the site and took itself off elsewhere...... what do you think?

Something Fishy

Few snaps I took while on my travels around London Design Week. These came from a restaurant window and are of a fantastic chandelier made up of a school of ceramic fish. Well designed and very eye catching, I just had to take a snap. Im dying to know whos work this is so if anyone recognizes these fishy fellows give me a quick email.




 Here is something similar I have found in my huge piles of London pictures from artist Pei-Ju at the Made In.. design fair. 



There is something so beautiful and elegant about origami. The best I could ever accomplish was a bendy paper airplane!

Busy Busy Bee

Yesterday I was at the Bluecoat Gallery looking at the vacant unit. It was quite perfect for what I have planned. 



 The Gallery is the oldest building in the City Center and Grade 1 listed.
The Bluecoat is a major art institution in Liverpool and received 618,000 visitors last year. Surrounded by the new Liverpool One shopping district this really is a fantastic location.  


Getting closer now, very exciting!
