Quartz and minerals

With technical problems at work today, I decided to get some inspiration and headed down to South Kensington, first to the V&A to see Telling Tales: fantasy and fear in contemporary design. A beautiful exhibition that looks at fairy tales and storytelling within design, through the use of materials, illusions, decorative details and historical influences.

Then I couldn't resist popping into my favourite section of the Natural History Museum to see the minerals, quartz and stones - fantastic inspiration for colour, pattern and form.
