artsy things

So the last few weeks have been busy with fun anniversary and creative endeavors.

Last week Heather and I went on a Silver Art Clay workshop at the Little Bead Shop and made each other beautiful pendants (pictures appearing soon!) and this week our creative mojo moves on to Jenny & Niko's wedding. Heather and I are making an abundance of chocolates and I'm making a frock from a 75 year old pattern of extreme 30s gorgeousness. Rather than using fancy frock fabric it's all getting crafted from basic £2/metre cotton lining fabric but will then be getting embellished like crazy and tailored with a waspie type belt. Should be good now that I've made some progress on it!

I'm also thinking of getting some of my photos on display at The Engine Shed Cafe where they have an exhibition space that will show your work for free but you pay a percentage to Engine Shed if anything sells. Sounds good to me ;) Although I'm still a tad disappointed that last week the cafe wasn't serving any of the increadibly yummy tofu they make downstairs...

We'll also be baking for a work pal, Ben, who's selling baking in aid of The Vine Trust, a charity that is super helping street boys in Peru. The actual site he will be working on is here and these are pictures of the 2006 visit he made (he's raising funds for another visit to help build the Inca centre).

Aside from some filmsoc reviews to do, a gig tonight and a drinks thing tomorrow I think that's about all there is to report just yet. Heather started her new job proper today though so maybe they'll be stuff to say (other than yikes! 6am starts!) soon.
