1961 - a metamorphosis

She has come of age... soon she will reveal her new wings and take in the skies to soar higher and further. Excited for this to reopen soon...

new web baby

Having my macbook crash into oblivion last week gave me so much freedom to let loose of my usual twitter and facebook routine and go back to other pursuits that needed a little lovin' too - this blog for one, and then our official website for 1961!

Created with a new blog-based format by my ex-girlfriend (a.k.a. spoolartist's wife), the new website is more user friendly, updated and packed with goodies from events, new promotions, exhibitions, insights and all possible things that rock our world here.
