“Processed SDO images in the 171 Angstrom wavelength of extreme ultraviolet showing plasma in the solar atmosphere, called the corona.”
This amazing photo has been released by NASA not for any scientific purpose, but mainly cos it’s pretty, and it is a pretty stupendous image after all!

I don’t know who those are by, but I do know that they are lovely, and I want a pair! The detail running up the back is marvellous and I love the way the heel has been done. If you know who to credit these to, do let me know!
I’m sorry for the delay in posting lately, I’ve been busy with work, and also for the last week and a half I’ve been moaning consistently about my stinking cold and cough! Hopefully normal service will resume around here soon!

Christian Tagliavini has created these amazing images based on Cubist, 17th Century and 1950′s dresses, but made entirely from paper and card. He created the pattern for each costume, constructed them and then photographed each of them himself.
Dame di Cartone, 17th Century I
Dame di Cartone, Cubism II
Dame di Cartone, Fifties I
These are just fantastic, so unique and detailed! Have a look at the rest of the series and more of his amazing work over at Christian’s website.

I am so bummed that I missed The Washington Ballet’s performance of ALICE (in wonderland) at the Kennedy Center’s Eisenhower Theatre. To reimagine the Lewis Carroll classic, powerful forces of breath-taking talent and visionary direction were combined. From the revolutionary artistic director Septime Webre, designer Liz Vandal (Cirque du Soliel’s OVO), composer Matthew Pierce (who created a completely new score), sets by Jim Cronzer, and puppets by Eric Van Wyk, The Washington Ballet took a trip down the rabbit hole for this season’s grandest production.

It has to be said that I am quite the fan of a cup of tea, despite not starting to drink it until a few years ago. I’ve realised that over on Pinterest, I’ve amassed a fair few prints and designs that involve tea, tea drinking, and tea cups, so I thought I’d do a bit of a themed post with some of my favourites:

We’ve got a bank holiday weekend approaching and I’m off to Scotland to visit relatives and for a hog roast which I am very much looking forward to! Here’s something pretty to look at and I promise a proper post soon:
I very much love this photograph of Maryna Linchuk backstage at a Dolce & Gabbana show, that skirt is just gorgeous!

I recently finished helping out on English National Opera’s ‘The Flying Dutchman’, at the Coliseum and would recommend going to see it if you get the chance. It’s an interesting production with some fantastic singing, (Stuart Skelton as Erik was one of my favourites), brilliant video projections and wonderfully played music by the orchestra. It was loads of fun to work on, the final act being a particular highlight for reasons that will become clear once you watch it!
