Friday late

... at the V&A. At the centre of the evening was the Spectacular Craft exhibition. Other activities included a dancers on an intricately-patterned icing sugar floor -- which rose in clouds, like mist; a recreation of Modern Times by a Charlie Chaplin impersonator; casting body parts (noses, fingers) in chocolate -- long queues for that!; and this chance to play with graphic design --
under the stony eyes of 18th century notables -
On the way to the cafeteria, this golden castle - something inspirational for another time -
and in the shop (no museum visit is complete without a visit to the museum shop!) a selection of handbags made from suit jackets - the lining is gorgeous, two kinds of silk; and look at that price tag: £115.
