Bill Cunningham: not just in the streets of New York

I'm a big fan of Bill Cunningham, 
who writes (and more)
for the New York Times.

Have a look at Bill's fashion 
commentary/essay
on this year's Fashion week in Paris.

Some abstract works that i
have made this spring.  

Have a look and feel inspired

Last week i attended the 
annual SNAG conference. 

The Society of North American Metalsmiths
produce a gorgeous magazine that 
you should know about.   
It's not just
for goldsmiths or jewellery makers.
This is an inspiring and alluring magazine
for people who like to see art, beauty,
collectibles, one of a kind creations
and so much More.
    
Have a look here to see and learn and subscribe.

In the meantime, I wanted to share
this video with you.  It's inspiring.
The Renwick Gallery of
The Smithsonian American Art Exhibition from 2012 to 2013
held an exhibition titled: 
40 under 40, Craft Futures.

I am sure you'll enjoy seeing 
the video and learning about this
artist.

Advice for a human

 I just saw this terrific video 
for a book titled The Humans
by Matt Haig. 

I hope you can take 
four minutes to watch it.
The video is engaging,
thought provoking and 
best of all: it's fun.



Now i really want 
to read Matt Haig's book.
