BT Art Boxes

Few years ago we had elephants all around London, this year it was the Big Egg Hunt and then this summer we had the attack of Phoneboxes courtesy of BT.  I knew about this through a friend and on a recent bus trip along hyde park but with work I just didn't get a chance to go out and purposely look for them.

So this came about because of all the things happening in Britain this year, such as the Diamond Jubilee and the London 2012 Olympics.  So then they decided to have a campaign that thrived on the nation's artisitic talent.  The Gilbert Scott Phone box was transformed and then later it would all be auctioned off to raise money for ChildLine's 25th anniversary.

So although I didn't look purposely for them, I did manage to find some on my travel through London one day

Deco Den - Japanese Art

Ever since I saw deco den products in Hong Kong and Japan, I had fallen in love with deco den.

So what is deco den, after all if you go into Hobby Craft or a similar craft store in the UK they would have no clue.  Deco Den is short for decoration denwa, denwa meaning phone.  Its the japanese art of gluing a bunch or adorable 3D stuff to your cell phone.  However it doesn't need to stop there, it could be a mirror, a case, camera, jars, to be honest anything that you can stick stuff to and on.

Last year in Hong Kong I came across a shop that sold the tools for deco den, so I decided to buy!  It wasn't until yesterday that I decided to do a bit of craft.

I chose to do a little mirror, so very straight forward, just squirt the silicone onto the surface and then using a cocktail stick swirl the silicone around to give the effect!

After that all you need to do is add your deco pieces

My finish pieces.

In The Heart of East London

If you mentioned at the beginning of the year East London to me, I would have thought about Lord Sugar, Spitalfields and Brick Lane.  

Now when you mention it, I will add Graffiti art to that list.  Over a month ago I joined a Lomography walk and found so much art, art that I would never have appreciated before.

With some of the art, it is so small you really have to open up your eyes and look down!

I took so many pictures, that I can't put them all on my blog.  Find them here Album 1, Album 2
