Ж chit chat

last night Libbie and I went to a Pecha Kucha night:

what's one of those I hear some of you think:

it's an event for designers to meet and show their work in public:
the name comes from the Japanese term for the sound of chit chat:

the presentations are quite simply

20 images x 20 seconds

*a sweet 6 minutes and 40 second show*

this is our 4th Pecha and last night saw my 

quietly modest and talented friend

Paul Siggins up on stage:

as well as the fabulous Amy and Emma of

the CoExist gallery :

then someone new for me ~  Kidda :

this is him talking about a film he worked on with Noel Fielding :

he skipped along slipping in names like

FC Kahuna and Cadbury's:

another modest artist talking with passion about something he loves:

but it wasn't all commission:

he has time to play with Hama beads and create an

identity for his own music:

I like Kidda:

after a beer break we listened to the wildly inspiring

Holly Murray:

her costume designs are gorgeous:

we particularly loved her collaborative work with the anarchic dancer 

Liz Aggiss :

Holly talked about the demands of a costume and how

she enjoys the challenge each one brings:

we love their construction and elegance:

after the presentations we ate cheesecake from a cup:

drank a glass of wine and talked to friends:

all this on a Thursday night!
