les machines de l’ile

We went for a walk one evening in Nantes and were confronted with a 50ft robotic elephant! It’s a really cool project, all inspired by Jules Verne and VIctorian ironwork but essentially they have just done it because they can. It has this bizare kind of 19th century Worlds Fair feel to it.

Paper cut art

I am in love with paper cut art just now.  Pieces by Rob Ryan (below) are amazing.

piano stool

this is the piano stool i was talking about. i dont have a before pic unfortunately but it used to be dark brown with white splodges of paint and have a tartan cardboard seat. still have some of the seat material which might make a nice skirt for something.

My Fake Baby

Hello,

Ive found a clip of the fake baby documentary shown on channel 4 earlier this year. We were talking about how odd we would look working on a doll project and thought this was very relevant. Im half repulsed by them and half amazingly impressed. Let me know what you think.

Thanks
