<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This weekend Crafty Kwak's rocked up at a Bugtastic 6th Birthday party for a spot of Super Fly mask making. We studied common types of fly and each child created their own mask to take home, carefully created to their own fly design. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We got up to a fair bit of craftiness over half term last week, here are a few pictures of our makes. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The week started with two days of Chinese New Year inspired Crafty Kwak's classes. On Monday I held a Year of the goat, rattle drum making class in Southfields and Tuesday saw a Dragon puppet workshop over at Gambado in Chelsea. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And It's currently all about the pirates in our house so the little lady and myself whipped up a quick felt pirate hat... she made most of this, she's very clever. And that is her most bestest pirate face... Needs a little work. Tutorial will be available soon.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And to go with the hat, a pirate must of course have an authentic pirate treasure map. She loved making these, all her own work, apart from the burnt edges. The map is tucked into her belt in the pic above, alongside a very wonky sword. I am pretty sure a sword will be next on the list of pirate makes.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's a super quick, yet highly romantic (ish) felt rose tutorial in honour of today's Valentines festivities. Feel free to substitute felt for card/ paper/ tissue paper/ any fabric. Suitable for grown ups or little monkeys, just watch the glue around the Little's... PVA and Pritstick will not do the job with my chosen materials, but a glue gun/ UHU/ fabric glue will do just fine. ...Enjoy, Happy Valentines!! n.x</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I had to include a few decorations. Hands up I may have gone a little pompom crazy. I love pompoms. The little lady also shares my love of pompoms. She calls them pong-pongs which has an entirely different meaning altogether in our house (but I wont go there). In keeping with the whole personalised theme... Personalised felt, wool and jingly jangly bell gift tags.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">More Pompoms.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And a few matching pompom, personalised jingly jangly baubles. All of these items can be personalsied with sayings, names and initials.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Even more Pompoms.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These twig star decorations are about 30cm height, which clearly the photos do not show.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made a whole bunch of them, they were fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

This is what I created, based loosely on a superhero comic cover, with all the necessary info. The mum was happy, it was a fun job.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I threw in a set of matching envelopes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the invitations had been delivered, the mum then contacted me to turn the invite into a print for her little chaps bedroom. So with a little bit of jiggery, here is what I created, one signed A3 personalised framed print, which was again well received.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Brown paper packages:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Again I could not resist the pretty packaging.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So if you are on the look out for a set of personalised invitations, do give me a shout on: queenkwak@hotmail.co.uk all ideas/ themes welcome. There are a series of invites I have previous produced, all available to be fully personalised, just take a peek <a href="http://www.queenkwak.com/" target="_blank">on the website here</a>, under invitations and I more than happy to develop new ideas.</span><br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vdb0YsssPKM/U6Lcz1DafVI/AAAAAAAABk8/GBe5Nu5JAMU/s1600/etsy+logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vdb0YsssPKM/U6Lcz1DafVI/AAAAAAAABk8/GBe5Nu5JAMU/s1600/etsy+logo.jpg" height="328" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I opened an Etsy shop, hoorah!! At long, long last, hoorah!! Ok I admit it, I did it a few months ago but have not had the time to promote it or do anything with it. Still unsure how to promote it, any ideas? But I listed a new item on Saturday, and within two hours I had made my first sell...yay!! I was super, duper excited. Etsy sent me an image of a champagne bottle, alas not a real bottle but it was lovely none the less. Hoorah!! So chin chin to more sells.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sketchy Kwak:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pS14WLjhAjU/U6Ldvv4W3KI/AAAAAAAABlM/RdHny7S2qug/s1600/header.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pS14WLjhAjU/U6Ldvv4W3KI/AAAAAAAABlM/RdHny7S2qug/s1600/header.jpg" height="84" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The logo, sure to be changed. The shop is called Sketchy Kwak, as the work is produced by the Mr and myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Shop front:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So the SketchyKwak Etsy shop looks a little something like this, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/sketchykwak" target="_blank">click here to go to the shop.</a> Categories will be added but at the moment you will find all current City Celebration prints, a selection of limited edition prints and the vintage London street signs. I hope to add further work shortly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And as this is a sort of launch, I will do a little promotion for the weekend... Buy any two full colour A3, signed City Celebration prints and get £10 off your order. Simply type the code: CELEBRATION10 at checkout. The code will expire on Sunday... happy shopping. And <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/sketchykwak" target="_blank">here is the shop link again,</a> just in case you missed it, ha.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well hello, its been a while hasn't it? Life has been KER-azy bananas. Life/ work/ life/ work and so on. I have a bundle of things I would like to share on here and rather than instantly bombarding you with lots of work efforts I thought I would share a little fun day we spent with the babies and their friends. Now this dates back to the Easter hols (I told you its been a while) but it was a fun day and hopefully by the end of this this I will have fathomed how to add a free download onto this, yes thats right free stuff, hoorah!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So Easter, looking for something fun to do with the littlies, a friend and myself decided to take the little ones on a stroll around London to see some sights. We do in fact live in London, but to be fair we don't really ever (ok never) go and see such sights. So the night before our adventure I whipped up this little scavenger hunt, purely as I thought it might be fun and entertain them. I happened to have a pack of union jack pencils, like you do which was a nice touch, though probably I was the only one who appreciated such things. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">London baby:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wont lie, this is a shoddy effort of a map. I earnt a living creating plans so I am actually disgusted with myself, but I figure its simple and should be easy to read, and I very well might have made it ever so slightly super quickly. Background map courtesy of Google maps.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So you can see the route we took, it was not that far, and fine for the two three year old's in the party (with buggies for back up) to manage. We began at embankment, headed to Downing street and so on. The entire route took us about 5 hours in total with a lunch break around the Strand. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The police guarding the gates were very friendly, chatted away, and posed for photos with the friends (my children were scared). We saw a few cars being searched and we ticked off a few treasures along the way. Happy children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With a stroke of luck we rocked up at the Horse Guards Parade just in time for the changing of the guard. Brilliant, the kiddos LOVED it. Loved the horses, loved the guards, they had a lot of fun.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />I set up the shop window display at salt & pepper this week, with a little help from my boy. Bunting, garlands, a nest of spring chicks with decorated eggs, surrounded by flying papier mache birds... lots of pretty Easter goodness. It was a lot of fun to set up and super fun to make out of all kinds of scrap papers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next class is scheduled for the Easter holidays on Monday 7th April, and this month we shall be having ourselves some papier mache bird themed action. I have had A LOT of fun whipping up some birds for the window display. Here is a peek at the ones I have made so far, my development and progress is pretty clear. They are all made from bits and bobs found around the home, to promote the fact children can design their art out of absolutely anything.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is the footage from the Sheringdale Charity Art Project postcard exhibition held at Southfields Gallery, Wandsworth on the 7/8th February. Admittedly more like footage of just our work which you read about <a href="http://queenkwak.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/sheringdale-charity-art-project-part-2.html" target="_blank">in this post,</a> and again admittedly this is a month late, but better late than never hey.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">King Kwak's and my postcards right there in the middle, both of mine were displayed in the end, and check out the red dots, woop. I was told they sold very quickly (and not to ourselves I may add). I believe the colour version of mine was bought by the gallery owner and the wooden postcard by parents from my daughters class, unaware of the connection. I have no idea who got the Mr's card.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And finally here is a rubbish shot of the exhibitions big sellers, the top by David Cameron and the bottom by Paul Weller. (I didn't take the photo at night, through the window, honest) The exhibition was a huge success and I believe made the Princes Foundation for Children and Arts a lot of money.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I very happy to announce that I am embarking on a new venture. From Monday 17th February, this coming half term I shall be hosting the first Crafty Kwak's Art, Design and Craft class at Salt & Pepper in Southfields, London. The classes are suitable for all children aged between 3-8 years and will be held every month at Salt and Pepper from here on. Subject to numbers the class will hopefully become every 2 weeks shortly. Ages 3- 4years will be held on Mondays and 5-8 years will be held on a Saturday afternoon. On months, like this month where there is a school holiday all children will be on the Monday. In each class I will cover a different seasonal or themed topic, and children will leave the lesson with new skills and a three dimensional product they can play with, use as decoration or give away as a gift. I will post the flyers on here for each month and hope to share some of the creations the children create. I am also in the process of building a website solely for Crafty Kwak's classes. For details please read the flyer below which is now littering the local area and filling the inboxes of many a local parent</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> with school aged children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Flyer:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rp_oXslsudo/UvDiKNDtz6I/AAAAAAAABdE/6FnpnGne0KQ/s1600/feb+2014+blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rp_oXslsudo/UvDiKNDtz6I/AAAAAAAABdE/6FnpnGne0KQ/s1600/feb+2014+blog.jpg" height="640" width="450" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here are all the details. If anything is unclear, please do ask. So this months theme is Chinese new year and what better to make than a Chinese dragon. I had so much fun making this bad boy:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Dragon puppet:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C-u-ljeVUiM/UvDlN3C_pbI/AAAAAAAABdc/YBu_xrHbdvs/s1600/dragon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C-u-ljeVUiM/UvDlN3C_pbI/AAAAAAAABdc/YBu_xrHbdvs/s1600/dragon.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So one hand operates his mouth and the other moves the tail to help him dance. We will be making simplified versions of this dragon puppet during the class with the older age groups. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Felt lantern garland:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d7vzAEvgLOY/UvDlVmoJcTI/AAAAAAAABdk/rg1TtZbXUus/s1600/lanterns.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d7vzAEvgLOY/UvDlVmoJcTI/AAAAAAAABdk/rg1TtZbXUus/s1600/lanterns.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This garland is for the window display, I made the little lanterns out of felt and strung them upon butchers twine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hanging Chinese globes:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AgUbMjm6vP8/UvDlqAK0PjI/AAAAAAAABds/LoXmR3vwYyI/s1600/globes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AgUbMjm6vP8/UvDlqAK0PjI/AAAAAAAABds/LoXmR3vwYyI/s1600/globes.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These colourful globe lanterns were super simple to make. Highly decorated versions of these are what I have planned for the little children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Window Display:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EasLuuVhMQs/UvDlvVmlimI/AAAAAAAABd0/qyPnKCKg4B8/s1600/shop1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EasLuuVhMQs/UvDlvVmlimI/AAAAAAAABd0/qyPnKCKg4B8/s1600/shop1.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I dragged my lucky cat, aka Prawn cracker over to partake in the display. My babies were most surprised to spot him, when we next walked past.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Another angle:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0TpitogPfKY/UvDl12oT-jI/AAAAAAAABd8/f9Xw80Vd7Ss/s1600/shop2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0TpitogPfKY/UvDl12oT-jI/AAAAAAAABd8/f9Xw80Vd7Ss/s1600/shop2.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Spot the pumpkin bottom between prawn cracker and the dragon? It looks like a lion... Amazing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So if you live in the area, or know someone who does and maybe interested pretty please, do pass on this info on. And if anyone has any ideas or suggestions for the class, please also share.</span>Queen Kwakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04258758321836336767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354176611855231528.post-79669849012469612632014-01-28T05:16:00.001-08:002014-01-28T05:16:45.640-08:00Sheringdale Charity Art Project Part 2.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I have a little update to the postcard design I submitted last week. The husband arrived home on Friday with this brand spanking new, fully updated version of my illustration. Oh my days.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">New wooden Postcard:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-clt1nO-Hm_E/UueriTCJJ9I/AAAAAAAABcA/4S_QwtSsNkA/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-clt1nO-Hm_E/UueriTCJJ9I/AAAAAAAABcA/4S_QwtSsNkA/s1600/2.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here is the new postcard, made of very fine wood, with my drawing laser cut into the wood. I</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> was quite happy with the original illustration but well this knocks the socks off that, as they say. Wow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Original Postcard:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A little reminder.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Check out those leaves:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope the photos clearly show the depth and level of detail to the wood, the darker the tone the deeper the cut. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Station details:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am very pleased, super pleased in fact. I would quite like one for myself actually.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The little ladies:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My daughters class have also been asked to submit their own postcards. We sat down with a few art books, and she was still insistent Van Gogh is her favourite, so this is her interpretation of her favourite painting, Sunflowers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Flowery details:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She has also decided she wants to be Van Gogh when she grows up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As stated before this postcard, along with the original and my daughters will be up for bids on February 7-8th, at Southfields Gallery, details on the poster.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So King Kwak and myself were asked to take part in a local art exhibition, run in conjunction with our daughters school. Lots of local artists and illustrators, alongside children from the school have each been sent a blank postcard to go wild upon, and all proceeds will go to the Princes Foundation for Children and the Arts. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is my postcard, I illustrated the local tube station (hopefully you gathered that), which is slap bang in front of the gallery in which this will be displayed.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello and a Happy New year. King Kwak and myself currently have ourselves a mini Exhibition running until February, displaying a collection of work we have produced together as a joint Kwak collaboration. 'City Celebration' is the name of the collection and it is a growing series of illustrations portraying </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">recognisable landmarks filled to the brim with celebration. Each locale </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">is bursting with a mix of humour, fun, known faces and events, often </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">alongside more controversial and political issues. An exploration </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">of each areas brighter and sometimes darker sides. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Look closely and see what you can spot?</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The exhibition is held at a local food shop/ restaurant named </span><a href="http://www.saltandpepperfoods.co.uk/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Salt & Pepper</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, based at 177 Replingham Road in Southfields, Wandsworth, London (on the district line) and should you be in </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the hood do pop by as it really is a fantastic place, the food and drinks are all cooked on site by a lovely couple and its all rather lovely and delicious. There are lots of little crafty decoration/ play/ food bits for sale on site too, and they are absolutely brilliant with dogs and children... well worth a trip.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A Southfields print is in the window, to hopefully entice all the locals in.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Unframed prints:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I whipped up a little print stand to hold all the unframed prints. It was a washing basket, who knew.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Badges and mirrors:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A selection of badges and mirrors with the Southfields illustration are available again for the locals. Southfields is the tube station for the Wimbledon tennis, All England lawn tennis and croquet club, hence why the packaging/ print colours are all based upon the tennis colours.</span><br />

Market stall products.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A1l2viXbNeQ/Up5ZoLNSpvI/AAAAAAAABW4/0TawTI6UCs8/s1600/poster+blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A1l2viXbNeQ/Up5ZoLNSpvI/AAAAAAAABW4/0TawTI6UCs8/s640/poster+blog.jpg" width="452" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first market is now done and dusted and I survived, whoop. I worked like a crazy girl this past couple of months but it was all very much worthwhile, I pretty much didn't sleep last week, not a wink on Thursday so the actual market day is bit of a blur but I had a super time, sold lots, met lots of new people and had a blast. So the following will be a bit of a photo dump, displaying the wares I carefully created for the event. I have also created a Christmas market folder upon my website, if you wish to see then <a href="http://www.queenkwak.com/" target="_blank">please click here</a> and should anyone be interested in any of my goods, then give me a shout at queenkwak@hotmail.co.uk. I am so pleased I did this as now I can and have started the cogs rolling to set up an on line shop, hoorah.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So the following were displayed alongside a VAST assortment of my personalised prints and artwork, all framed. I took A LOT of frames with me that day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Framed cuckoo clock:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Illustrated Swiss stylee cuckoo clock. A blog may follow on how I made this beauty, I am rather loving it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Role play kit for your little librarian, ready to be fully decorated/ personalised and comes complete with actual librarian date stamp and ink pad PLUS proper librarian edge of your nose reading glasses. Amazing. I wanted to be a librarian when I was little, can you tell?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Illustrated London street sign:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">...Here's two I did earlier.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Southfields illustration:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The days biggest seller. A very detailed print produced in collaboration with him indoors, my Mr King Kwak. It is a print of the locale, and the first in a series we have, a blog on which will follow soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Photo illustration:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a King Kwak special, turn your photos into illustrated artwork. That is me with the bunny ears, looking hot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Dry wipe shopping list:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ovRKYllygoE/Up5Vj8aZy3I/AAAAAAAABVo/YJpQFCmynjo/s1600/shopping+list.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ovRKYllygoE/Up5Vj8aZy3I/AAAAAAAABVo/YJpQFCmynjo/s640/shopping+list.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another hit of the day, I sold out of these. Framed print complete with a dry wipe pen. Image available in blue, beige, grey and navy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Tiara pocket mirrors:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CwnEOK3N9R8/Up5SuavMX4I/AAAAAAAABUw/R93TuL9xC40/s1600/mirrors.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CwnEOK3N9R8/Up5SuavMX4I/AAAAAAAABUw/R93TuL9xC40/s640/mirrors.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another good seller, I actually clapped when these arrived in the post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Christmas colour-in temporary tattoos:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1bcBAL2a6LE/Up5WCR3vgGI/AAAAAAAABVw/iFBu6tKyR18/s1600/tattoos.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1bcBAL2a6LE/Up5WCR3vgGI/AAAAAAAABVw/iFBu6tKyR18/s640/tattoos.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The week before the market I discovered a new world of printing papers, including temporary tattoo paper. This is the first I sampled and I imagine there will be a lot of fun coming up with the other papery discoveries. Oh and the tattoos can be coloured with make up and face paints.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Colour-in activity sheets:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xqe1tCvD7dA/Up5XHu6UnaI/AAAAAAAABV8/nsbERhy_EQ4/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xqe1tCvD7dA/Up5XHu6UnaI/AAAAAAAABV8/nsbERhy_EQ4/s640/1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following on with the colour-in theme I made these sheets for the kiddos to do over the Christmas holidays. To the left a foldable personalised angel for on top of the tree and a mat for Santa's pie/ Rudolph's carrot. To the right a Christmas dinner set, four place settings to pop on top of your plates (before the food) and four napkin rings. I even packaged up and sold packs of Christmas sparkles to decorate such wares.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Garlands:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wKVQ4-4df1k/Up5TAI4Z3II/AAAAAAAABU4/qgy2ck2xlXs/s1600/garlands.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wKVQ4-4df1k/Up5TAI4Z3II/AAAAAAAABU4/qgy2ck2xlXs/s640/garlands.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A bit of festive cheer, I am rather fond of the fairy light one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Gift tags:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BoCahQOt-SU/Up5TiE5QYsI/AAAAAAAABVA/-Ef8L8NJwfA/s1600/tags.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BoCahQOt-SU/Up5TiE5QYsI/AAAAAAAABVA/-Ef8L8NJwfA/s640/tags.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A bit more festiveness. I imagined these as dual purpose, tags or decorations. I think the robins upon a Christmas tree would look rather lovely, may do it myself actually and post pics at a later date.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A few more tags:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shocking photos of the stall I realise, these were very quickly taken with my phone just as the market opened and people came in. Rubbish light but hope you get the idea.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And that's that. So what do you think? I hope you like it all and as I said before if you are interested in any of my goods please do drop me an email at queenkwak@hotmail.co.uk. Right I had better get cracking I now have a 5 years olds royal themed birthday party to organise.</span><br />
