Springle Spangle

Following Fluffy Logic's amazing Springle Spangle on Saturday night at the Bussey Building in Peckham, I see the trees blossoming on my walk to University and I know spring's truly in the air. I don't like how the seasonal changes aren't as obvious in the city as back in the countryside, but I'm so glad that warmer weather is on the way. Winter has been bitterly cold this year and I can't wait to head out to London's' parks barefoot with my hula hoop.

 I've been getting involved in lots of adventures in London, aside from helping out at Fluffy Logic and face painting, my latest venture has been bingo calling...   this ain't your grandma's bingo though! In aid of Camberwell's illustration degree show, we're mixing it up with cheap drinks, drunk students, ridiculous costumes, a selection of fine moustaches, excellent prizes and cheesy playlists... baby you've got yourself a party!

Should be happening bi-weekly... more info to come!

Rockin' the rabbit ears last week, one of my festival faves.

Some snaps from my desk this week, copious amounts of green tea (don't even want to know why the water does that to my cups... but it leaves a pretty pattern!), passion fruit, tacky dress-up jewellery and medals, elvis, paint palette, tiny teacups and creepy doll parts.

Beautiful juicy pomegranate!

Return from Paradise

Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia.

Settling back into life in England after a life changing four months of globe trotting. It's a shock!

I miss moving to new places every few days, having no commitments or responsibilities, experiencing new ways of life, new food, new cultures and that feeling of total freedom.

I spent a lot of time on Koh Phangan where I met the most incredible people; artists, musicians, dancers, kindred souls full of light and love! My month there was filled with singing, dancing, frolicking in the jungle, climbing waterfalls, weaving jewellery, amazing thai cooking, swimming in the sea, hula hooping, drawing, painting, magic parties, racing around the island on mopeds and spending nights under the stars talking from the heart and soul. 

I was sad to leave, the island calls me back. 

Hair-dye fiasco No.1 - Cambodia - flooded the bathroom of our guesthouse... looked like someone had been shot! Couldn't let housekeeping into the room for about 4 days.

Hair-dye fiasco No.2 - Malaysia - in a small salon in Kuala Lumpur, had my long hair attacked by a Malaysian lady boy and his assistant! Pulling my hair in all directions, laughing hysterically... I don't think they'd seen hair like mine before.

Sunrise at Angkor Wat.

Offering at Chiang Mai's temple on the hill.

Working out what to do with my life now. I was supposed to go to University, but that seems so dull now in comparison to travelling. I want to go away again and continue exploring... I have itchy toes and an impatient nose!

Sweet and Low

Pinned down, death preserved in the frozen forms of fragile insects... a snap from the Met Museum in New York. I worry my fascination with dead animals is a little odd.

This shiny hoof belongs to the statue of a boy in the most beautiful gardens of a Greek castle on the island of Corfu. I imagine that generations of people have tickled the toes for luck, wearing down and polishing them to this bright bronze.
