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 please click here 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.
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.
Framed cuckoo clock:
Illustrated Swiss stylee cuckoo clock. A blog may follow on how I made this beauty, I am rather loving it.
DIY Colour-in play library kit:
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?
Illustrated London street sign:
Any street you fancy name it.
...Here's two I did earlier.
Southfields illustration:
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.
Photo illustration:
This is a King Kwak special, turn your photos into illustrated artwork. That is me with the bunny ears, looking hot.
Dry wipe shopping list:
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.
Tiara pocket mirrors:
Another good seller, I actually clapped when these arrived in the post.
Christmas colour-in temporary tattoos:
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.
Colour-in activity sheets:
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.
Garlands:
A bit of festive cheer, I am rather fond of the fairy light one.
Gift tags:
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.
A few more tags:
A slightly classier gift tag, would also look nice with cream paper wrap/ DIY decorated wallpaper lining paper.
Giant mistletoe:
Pucker up. Double sided hanging illustrated mistletoe.
Cake toppers:
Large banner topper for your Christmas cake and holly toppers for your cupcakes.
Individual prints:
And a whole host of illustrations were framed or sold at full size and postcard size ready for framing.
Market stall:
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.
