Trip to the V & A Museam.


Looking at machanical musical instuments at the V & A


Goo.


I want to make the outside of the street organ look more organic than the traditional street organ. Possibly making the design a-symetrial. I've been looking at art novou and more moden 60's psycodelic art work as inspiration. Allot of these designs look as if they where melting. This thinking putty goo inspired me as a natural shape which might work quite well.

Poland tea room.


These are pictures of an art novou tea room in Poland. I went there 6 months ago. The style fits in with the street organ style. The pattens used are bold but alittle fussy and over complex. I think the design needs to be updated.




Head dress ideas.


I was considering making a taditional headress alongside the street organ. Looking at my time plan I simply had no time to compleate both. So I'm going to just concentrate on the street organ.

Canal boats.

Canal boats have a long tradition of beutiful traditional painting. Its bold and colourful it complements the gypsy style in common with steam engines, street organs.

Street organ at Dorset steam fair.

Dorset steam fair.

This is the first street organ that I saw at the Dorset steam fair. Its a really great fair with genuine steam engines powering almost everything. I really found the street organs an amazing presents at the fair. Its great to hear non electric music.
