Recently I went to The Women's Library and saw an exhibition by Francoise Dupre. It was fascinating to see how the artist had explored the art of making and crossed over the disciplines of sculpture, art and design. I got excited while walking around the space and took loads of photos so I've put a few here for you to see.

?Choices! - The AACDD 2011 Festival @ Bargehouse
I went to the Bargehouse this weekend, which is a great space on the southbank just behind the OXO tower. There's a show from the African and African-Caribbean design diaspora, my favourite piece was the chair pictured, designed by my friend Julie Kouamo. I love the way her printed textiles fit in so well with the textures of the walls in the space.

Little blue bird
I went to my friend Bola's open house sale where she was selling some of her creations and I couldn't resist this sweet little bird, I had to take it home. Here are some more images of her pots inspired by fairytales and other childhood memories. You can read about her and see more here.

Todays bright new ideas!
Popped in to the Power of Making exhibition at the V&A briefly today, they have some excellent things and will go back to look in more detail -it was really packed as it only opened today! Have been working at the British library today, as I walked in I noticed an inspirational quote from Anita Roddick on the wall, 'To succeed you have to believe in something with such a passion that it becomes a reality.' With that in mind, I got on with some new design work...

A window
The cut-out piece could be a window looking backwards at the past, but I like to think it's catching a glimpse of the future...
