Sorry for the slowdown over the weekend - my internet connection was
doing some crazy slow things and so I was unable to log on - and my
lovely in-house IT assistant (ie. husband) was away - so I just had to
muddle through. But despite lack of posts on sunday the rest of the
week was fabulously creative. I wanted to start this weeks newsletter
with this youtube
video on Christian the lion - the story of a lion cub adopted by
two young artists in London in the 70's and then released to the wild
- very moving.
Did you see the amazing phone book
dress : and I am truly inspired by these story
vignettes 'sugar boxes' : and for something totally crazy - the puffy
collar pattern : and how to carve a kuksa
cup.

you not live without? : gum
