I found this picture in The Observer a week or so ago. Rebels broke into the homes of the Gaddafi family and in his daughters house they found this mermaid sofa personalised with Aisha Gaddafi's face. And she looks pretty angry. I am adding a personalised mermaid sofa with my own face on to my Christmas list.
The new brooches I've been working on. A brass pigeon foot holding a 6mm pearl. Playing with my new blow torch and learning how hot is too hot. And the heat effected pattern that's created in my light weight concrete breeze block that I work onto.

My desk turned work bench for developing a new design of pigeon claw brooches, from the comfort of my Chesterfield desk chair. The clamp I inherited from my Grandfather.
A bottle of Jim Beam Red Stag and Green Island spiced rum that I got sponsorship from for our Brighton graphic design and illustration degree show this year. Also my graduation present from my brother, a bottle of wine shaped like a Tommy gun, from Italy.
