Today I went to the National Gallery to see the Ballet and Costume exhibition. looking at Ballet costumes and links to fashion. In 2002 the Australian ballet initiated Tutu: designing for Dance, and invited seventeen leading fashion designers and labels to make their interpretation of a Tutu.
The results were varied and beautiful.

| The white Beads are actually Japanese Shibori (tie dying) |
A surprise of the visit were two wonderful exhibits.
The first was a glass reindeer in the foyer made of bubbles of glass I forgot to get who it was.but appealing to all who walked in.
 |
| Hard to tell if there were things inside or distorted reflections |
The second was an installation called
clinamen by Celeste BOURSIER MOUGENOT.
An Installation of chance and indeterminacy in musical composition through the use of unorthodox musical instruments
 |
| Circulating gently porcelain bowls float driven by an underwater current and sound as the touch randomly and against the edges. |
 |
| It was mesmerising and people were sitting there for ages |
