This will definitely be the last film related post for a while, but we really all like this film. I mean we really really liked it. Ok, so the trailer turns up the hyperbole, but the film itself is pretty interesting stuff. Remarkable.
Allow me to lay the scene: basically the French have let Hogster into the Chauvet Caves so he can go gaga over some extremely old cave paintings.
This is our first special edition ring, designed by Sophie Thomas. It celebrates the unique history of Britain’s Red Brick Universities.
How should I take care of my ring?
While our rings will certainly stand the rigours of day-to-day wear, it is important to take your activities into consideration when wearing your ring. Moreover, repeated contact with perfumes and cosmetics can damage precious metals and stones and we would advise you to apply these before putting on your graduation ring. It would also be advisable to remove your ring when bathing, swimming, cleaning or gardening. To preserve the beauty and lustre of your ring, clean with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of brush, sharp instrument or rough cloth for cleaning. Avoid contact with any harsh acids and agents such as chlorine.
Susie went to see a Q and A at the BFI with Kazuo Ishiguro last week and she was immensely moved by the “great man” (her words). Having already told us all about it, she has now forwarded a link to the event so we can corroborate for ourselves her pitch-perfect taste in writers.
This is the link to the BFI stuff: BFI Q&A Ishiguro
And here is a video from Youtube which I have caught her re-watching at least twice.
Apparently the film is ok as well
Typography? We have definitely picked up too much typography chatter in our social circles recently, so there will certainly not be any mention of the Eric Gill exhibition at the British Museum here. (Nor any pics or links)
We can’t say what your 2011 is going to look like, but ours will look like this:

I was back in Yorkshire for a couple of days and fortunately found some free time to spend at the sculpture park, where I ran into David Nash.
It’s brilliant, you should go now. Go
According to Annie Proulx (in the Guardian): “In his hands wood seems fabric, as malleable as gold, black as Indian hair, a carbuncled lump. Trees are sliced and inclined, chunks needled, paginated, riddled, elbowed, pierced, incised, long bolts frittered and hollowed, geometrics waffled.”

Gold plating on the inside of the ring – A crazy cool idea?
You bet it is!!!!!! No plans at the moment to make this an official option on any of our rings .
But unofficially if (as I quite clearly expect) we get massive positive feedback then this is without a doubt going to be standard on all our rings.
Something brilliant is definitely happening here.
In the meantime, I’m off to Superdrug to get a bottle of gold glitter nail polish and a face towel. I want my ipod to like like this (see below) before disco time.
