T-Shirts…
I read a free local magazine every month called The Crack. I like it because instead of concentrating on what the chavs and trendies like, it has an almost indie edge to it and features local bands, art workshops, shops and websites. Quite a while ago it featured a small article on a clothing company called the Passarella Death Squad and I've just found the url that I'd wrote down and I have a sneaky feeling I'm going to be £50 out of pocket soon as I want 2 of their (rather rude) t-shirts (mostly the "Je viens du Palais des péchés" in white and the "Joven Y Harta" in black).
Another clothing designer who I'm a big fan of is Carey Haider who runs Blacktooth. I own a few of his shirts and I can't get enough of them. I've worn my gun t-shirt to death and I wish I bought more of them at the time.
Día de los Muertos
A few weeks ago I ordered some sugar skull moulds from eBay as I've always liked them and the idea's behind them and being a crafty kinda gal wanted to make some of my own. So today I went to my local sorting office to pick up my box of moulds and meringue powder and on my way back to the studio I bought 1kg of sugar and set about making my first batch of skulls. After a few hours of drying I hollowed my skulls out. You have to do this because it makes a) more sugar mixture available or you to make more skulls and b) your skulls dry quicker. After the skulls have been hollowed out you have to leave them for about 12 hours to dry solidly so tomorrow they should be done ready for me to glue them together and decorate. I can't wait. The mixture smells lovely and doesn't taste too bad either.
Hello.
