Looking at this may make you
want to spill your Garmonbozia all over your shoes

We love Twin Peaks
(We remember hiding behind the sofa when B.O.B came a knockin')
We love embroidery
(so much so one of us did a degree in the fucking thing)

So imagine our pleasure when we stumbled across these!

From one red headed midget to a red headed cyclops
Oh how we loved your super-strength Nadine!
We used to fancy James Hurley,
except thats all over now
once we'd googled the James Hurley of today
ROGAIN much
and he used to go out with

Who shed tears over Laura in class with

Who tried to co-erce Agent Coop to commit some paedo crimes in his hotel room

Instead of him doing his job chasing down the real paedo

Who was really this LEVIS ad reject / child scarer of 1990

Scary BOB

"it is happening again"

Christ what is up with the LogLady's face?
We imagine her log 'will have something to say about this some day'


We hope she can do some more -
where's Lucy, the receptionist with her ever faboosh cardigan ensemble?
Where's Denise, the pre- X-files tranny?
Where's Maddy? Or Laura?
(or both together as they were both Sheryl Lee anyways)

We hope there's enough canvas in the world
to fit Fat fucking Jacques Renault on one day

And what collection would be complete without Waldo?

"Roy's my family now Frank"

We've always wondered what to get for a tattoo
but have never felt the inspiration hit us

Until we saw THIS

UZBEKISTAN - culture

Sorry we haven't blogged for ages dearest readers
but we have been travelling the globe
to bring you sights 'n' delights

UZBEKISTAN!

We'd been invited by the British Council to go and do some work

to encourage and contemporarise this


and to quell the spread of this

ew

So after much hard effort in 30+ degree heat with no air con,
we managed to steal ourselves away to embrace some culture

and after many wrong turns
we travelled from the capital TASHKENT
to SAMARKAND to see the lovely mosques


amazing

i want that on my house entrance

and i want that on my ceiling


all the doors around the mosques were ornately carved

and the locks were so nice
stuff everywhere



the traditional child's cradle - above -
or the 'modern' equivalent -below-

which one for your child? shiny beautiful tradition
or scratchy fluoro netting?


this should be my door knocker, for sure!

more to follow!

UZBEKISTAN - markets


So Uzbek markets are hot, buzzing,
and require good knowledge of the language,
in order to barter the prices down.
Luckily we had an amazing translator
who not only did the yakking, but also did all the buying,
so we paid as close to 'local price' rather than 'extortionate tourist price'
(nothing has a listed price)


beautiful hand embroidered wedding jackets

we are the earth intruders
we are the sharp shooters
looks like Bjork picked up her Volta costumes here

'foreign rugs' - Spiderman, or Marc Almond?


The national mascot - en masse

some lovely brushes nicely displayed

odd plastic money boxes
and some lovely rugs, but alas too heavy to bring back to London!

Damian Stankovic's Cipher glasses are amazing!
the pixels coordinate with the drink you put in
to spell out what you are drinking

We wonder if it will work with Champagne?
