This amazing pavilion designed by students at Chelsea College of Art & Design has been on show during the London Festival of Architecture for the last couple of weeks. It is made from the unlikeliest of materials, Speedo swimsuits.  What a fantastic example of the design possibilities that can be found in the upcycling process.

Sustainable Design Brief

The pavilion' is the result of a collaborative project between Chelsea College of Art & Design and the famous Speedo swimwear brand, which asked students to look at issues of sustainability, production and use of materials.  Redundant Swimsuits


Students on Chelsea's Platform 2 were given 600 'LZR racer' swimming suits to find an appropriate use for. Why the LZR racer? And why so many? Well due to recent changes in swimming competition rules this incredibly hi-tech piece of sportswear was made redundant leaving Speedo with hundreds of swimsuits they could no longer sell.

Title: Fallout New Vegas: Wild Wild Wasteland

Alright so I got this game a few weeks back and didn't stop playing it until I beat it twice. New Vegas is an awkwardly buggy game full of strange glitches and distracting plot unrelated moments. Yet somehow everyone loves it including me. This game is addicting as hell and feels much more lively than Fallout 3, there was just overall more stuff to do, more choices to make, and more people to interact with. In summary, New Vegas is silly and I love it.

A Necklace a Day - Ten

Last week I tried using one of my own bead color palettes, and ended up with a pretty nice little peacock pendant. It inspired me to go back and explore some of the possibilities of other palettes of the past.

The first triad I ever created is one that I’ve been wanting to use for a long time. Chemistry Set was made from a photograph of Saturn’s rings, and used purple and green seed beads with fiber optic cubes and rectangles. I always liked the combination, but I never got around to making anything with it.

Recently, I acquired some really pretty matte green druks in a sort of minty shade that perfectly matches my shamrock lined crystal TOHOs. So, I used these to replace the peridot green of the original palette and got to work.

Chemistry Orbs Pendant

I used my old standby, circular brick stitch, to make a pendant of four circles connected in a lazy zig-zag. I have only ever used the design with rivolis, but the brick circles are so much faster to stitch up, and easy to work with. I think I might have to revive the idea on a regular basis.

Eventually I added some purple cats eye beads to the mix as well, to pair off with the druks. They match the seed beads almost perfectly and it worked out really well.

The shamrock green doesn’t give the palette the same industrial vibe as the peridot. I think it’s much more organic now, and the shape of the pendant is like motes of pollen clinging together under a microscope. Somehow it always comes back to nature!
