    This exciting package arrived in the mail from Paperself this morning with paper cut eyelashes and gorgeous gold tattoos. I first tried some of their lashes at London Fashion Week years and years ago and have been a huge fan ever since.

    And on the subject of our London days, I've started crafting a tiara for our old friend Catherine AD to wear on her tour this summer for Crafter To The Stars.

  3. Edit

    We're going to see her at her Glasgow show, but just after I finished attaching the final bead, she announced that she would be supporting the Manic Street Preachers at The Eden Project. Now I'm so tempted to drop everything to go and make her something awesome and leopardskin to wear!

    In the evening, Grant gave us his spare tickets to see Adam Green's new film in Glasgow and I was able to blag a couple of guest list places for his gig later that night.

      Adam Green has been on tour promoting his first film, Adam Green's Aladdin with special screenings and gigs across the UK.

      Featuring a cast of Natasha Lyonne, Macaulay Culkin, Alia Shawkat, Francesco Clemente, Har Mar Superstar, Devendra Banhart, Bip Ling, Jack Dishel, Zoe Kravitz and Adam Green as Aladdin, the movie is very "Cut Out + Keep" with hand-drawn sets, papermache models and a homemade soundtrack.

      There was a quick Q&A with Adam after the movie, where I couldn't resist asking who made the set, and then it was time for the gig where he was supported by a French band called Coming Soon.

      Full of energy, he danced, jumped, kicked and crowd surfed (no less than three times) his was through the set.

      And, even though it would be his birthday at midnight, he tirelessly played his way through a two hour set with songs from the film and old classics including Friends Of Mine, Jessica and Who's Got The Crack, from his time with The Moldy Peaches.

    We hung around after the show so that Tom could get a t-shirt, Grant could get the DVD, and I could get him to draw a picture for my Crafty In The City project. He was so friendly!

  7. Checkin at Pommes Frites UK
    1. Edit

      It was super late but luckily Pomme Frites stays open until 4am and serves cones of chips with gourmet toppings.

    2. Edit

      The menu was huge but I ended up going for some garlic parmesan fries topped with a mushroom garlic dip. They tasted amazing but the cone was so big that just one would have fed all three of us.

    3. Edit

      I also loved how the tables in the window had holes cut to hold your chip cone for you.
