What’s fun is finding the unexpected and in unusual places. I have only begun the trail of the London Design Festival but The Norfolk House Music Room at the V&A and The ‘Curiosity Cloud’ by an Austrian duo Mischer’ traxler.happened to be my first stop. There is lots about this experience that has made me investigate their work further. The creation of the different glass bulbs, the amazing fluttering of the mechanical butterflies inside, a sound and visual extravaganza! Feeling good and finding out more.

Blog 51: Labels and the part they play. A story waiting to be uncovered made me stop at the Design Museum and a reminder of the importance of words.

I started this blog as my memory bank and my recall facility (I wont go into why I need this) but I did not realize how difficult I would find putting words down. Getting into the Blog mindset and engaging with other bloggers I have yet to do but getting my thoughts down today is a start. I think it’s the sunshine and a reminder there is always a story to be told.
