Look what you're missing Russell! Katy Perry sports sexy suspender skirt and stockings...

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Missing Russell: Katy Perry wore black stockings and a suspender skirt as she arrived in Tokyo on a bullet train earlier today
She had earlier tweeted how 'sad' she was feeling after her husband Russell Brand was deported from Japan.
But Katy Perry seemed determined to show him what he was missing as she strolled through Tokyo train station later in the day.
The 26-year-old singer pulled out all the stops in a black and white checked suspender skirt, black stockings and platform heels.
Crushed: Perry looked distinctively melancholy without Brand, who had been deported by the Japanese authorities due to a criminal record
And she looked distinctly melancholy, although she gamely signed autographs and chatted to fans.
Earlier in the day, Brand had been deported by Japanese authorities due to his criminal record.
He had arrived with Perry to watch her perform a show on the Asian leg of her California Dreams tour.
Perry wrote on her Twitter account: ‘So... my husband just got deported from Japan. I am so. sad. I brought him all this way to show him my favourite place #tokyodreamscrushed.'
Brace face: Perry managed to raise a smile as she chatted and signed autographs for waiting fans
She earlier expressed her indignation at Brand's treatment, tweeting: ‘It was for priors from over 10 years ago! #mamanothappy!'
Perry then campaigned to her followers to try and get her husband released and said: ‘#FREE@RUSTYROCKETS! RT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
But she later seemed to accept the situation. 'But of COURSE I ♥ my Japanese fans & the show #MUSTGOON no matter the daily aftershocks or husband kidnappings! #it'snotrightbutit'sokay,' she wrote.
Brand had earlier tried to see the funny side of his situation as he was held at Tokyo airport.
Fan love: Perry gamely posed for pictures with fans in Japan, which she says is her 'favourite place'
He tweeted: ‘Planning escape from Japanese custody. It's bloody hard to dig a tunnel with a chopstick.’
The actor then posted a picture of himself with a chopstick and the caption: ‘Alcatraz! Shawshank Redemption! And now this! Ah, sweet blue bird of freedom!’
Russell, a self-confessed former heroin addict, was arrested in 2001 charged with criminal damage and indecent exposure when he stripped naked while covering the May Day protests for MTV, the charges were later dropped.
The comedian, who has been arrested 12 times, was arrested on suspected battery charges after he allegedly attacked a photographer who was taking pictures of Perry last year, he was released after posting $20,000 bail.

Improv Inspiration

My sewing machine and i have not been spending that much time together lately, but yesterday i needed to sew. I knew that i had to sew something, anything. Right away i was drawn to my scraps from Heather. I took them out and looked them over...all sorts of shapes and sizes...and figured out right away that the best plan was some improv sewing. When i got these the other day a good friend saw them and wondered what on earth i could do with such small pieces, so it was exciting to show her what i had made with them.

I considered looking online to see if there was some kind of tutorial...but knew that would only end in me wasting valuable sewing time on the computer, being inspired by other peoples ideas and never getting to my own. I needed to free myself from being dependent on the internet and blogs. With determination and lots of excitement i just started sewing. Out came these improv scrappy log cabin blocks.

I have not done a sewing project that has been so freeing or so fun, ever. I did not worry about straight lines or perfectly cut blocks. i just sat and created. It felt good. I struggle with the differences in being crafty and being creative. I want to create but sometimes i feel so stuck in thinking about it that i get nowhere. This time i just went for it, and it turned out amazing!! I love it!! I think it is going to end up hanging in my living room and if i don't like it there i am going to use it for a table runner.
Heritage: Africa's ancient art to be saved, with your help

Thousands of examples of millennial old art carved into rocks and on the walls of caves are under threat as their location is often unknown and unprotected from artefact thieves.

Despite providing some of the oldest art in the world, Africa’s rock art tradition has long been overlooked by archaeologists and art historians alike.
Now the British Museum and Kenyan-based archaeological charity TARA (Trust for African Rock Art) are working to preserve this endangered heritage.
“The Museum wants to make Africa’s rock art available to both scholars and the general public alike. We hope to both protect and share this remarkable history for free with a global audience,” says Elizabeth Galvin, Curator of the African Rock Art Image Project.
The rock art tradition began in Africa 50,000 years ago, but abstract engravings may be up to 77,000 years old. It long predates writing, so serves as an important historical window into the culture and beliefs of early humans, and the world in which they lived. Today only a handful of isolated groups engage in the tradition, with a few sites still being used for fertility and rainmaking rituals.
The places in which ancient rock art is found have been little documented and largely unprotected, leading to a deterioration of the sites and the art itself. In 1996, TARA was set up, in order to record and protect the rich rock art heritage of the African continent.
The Nairobi-based NGO are committed to improving awareness about this tradition, and the endangered state that rock art sites are in.

“The ultimate aim is to record all this incredible heritage for humanity before it’s too late,” says David Coulson, TARA’s Executive Chairman.
TARA signed the partnership agreement with the British Museum, so that the Museum could use a digital copy of TARA’s photographic archive to educate people further about rock art. Since the sites are often fairly inaccessible geographically, and susceptible to natural and man-made destruction, the project will allow both academics and general audiences greater access to the tradition.
It will be the first time that such an extensive rock art archive will be available to the British public, and will provide one of the most complete public databases on African rock art in the world. 25,000 digital photos of sites from across Africa will be included, alongside material from archaeological and anthropological research.
The collection will include images of sites across the Fezzan of Southwest Libya, with dates ranging from 10,000 BC to 100 AD. Sites in the Messak Sattafet and the Acacus Mountains, (part of the Tadrart-Acacus trans-frontier UNESCO World Heritage site) will feature, depicting a wide range of subjects, from hippopotami to men in chariots. A survey of the South African sites will show the different styles and subject matters of the Khoi, San and other groups of humans from thousands of years ago. As well as this early art, the collection will also exhibit engravings and graffiti by European settlers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
In East Africa, the TARA archive will reveal geometric paintings and engravings by Twa forager-hunters as well as images of livestock, shields and clan markings made by Maasai and Samburu pastoralists in rock shelters. In these photos, ‘rock gongs’ – rocks with natural resonance once used for communication – feature prominently.

The British Museum’s African rock art image project is supported by the Arcadia Fund.
TARA have also set up a crowdfunding initiative for their organisation. To donate, click here.
