Bits and bobs

                         
                             Things that caught my eyes, inspired me, or just something I liked, simply.


   

 Turkish embroidery. These were definately inspirational, love the colours.


 
    A lot of things in the London Tube catches my eyes. Every station is different,
each of them seem to have some kind of a theme.. 
"TO THE TRAINS" @ covent garden. They have 193 stairs(I think)
and NO escaltors. So everyone queues up for the massive lifts!
It was like disney land, star tours, or something! 

  
                                                                                      A fairy?


    Old lovely books and beautiful shops at the good old Portobello Market. 


                               The Design Museum in London. Exhibiting amazing fashion drawings and 
                             magazine cover illustrations for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, etc. The location
                            of the museum is also great; by the river, Tower Bridge, The Hays Galleria..
                Also exhibition by architect, John Pawson 'Plain Space'. This was great for inspiration too.

            

                               Cultural magazine, "Elephant" I found at Nottingham Contemporary.
Couldn't help taking a snap of the great cover! Obviously, magazines like this
costs too much for me... But I bought these ceramic buttons from Victoria & Albert .
Can't remember how long I took to pick these 4!!!


    
    
      These, on the other hand, were FREE from the fabric store
      at NTU. How amazing? Picked out colours I liked. I love camel.
