Elephant Parade - Location, Sponsor, Miniature

Elephant Parade London 2010 will start very soon from 3 May!

My first elephant, pink one is now sponsored by Vanity Fair magazine.
I didn't know the magazine but I heard it's famous.

The pink elephant will be located just outside the Vanity Fair building in Hanover Square, just off Regent Street and Oxford Street.
The location is very central London but hidden...

here.

And the second one will be on Kensington High Street. That's great place too. The exact spot will be noticed soon.

They will be at the locations until 23 June, and after then till 3 July, it will be displayed with all 258 elephants at the Royal Hospital grounds in Chelsea.

Plus, 80 of all elephants will be made into miniature replica and my both designs were chosen!
They will be sold in Selfridges, Carnaby Street, 80 Regent Street, and Greenwich Central Market. wow.

Check them!

CANDY FLOSS Children's Book

Done-

Children's book for Macmillan Prize.
I made a complete dummy this time.

in a box.


Instruction inside the cover.


I like to make box.
As flat materials are constructed together, it will be a very stable things.
I love such a stable object.

And as similar to that or not, when I manage something, I always need somewhere stable to depend on.
Otherwise I can't manipulate well. Is that why I like stable thing?

And so, on the other hand, I'm not good at manipulating flexible materials such as fabric.
Cause I don't know where and what extent I put force.
I like those though...


I bound it by myself as well. I like binding too.




The design is like playing cards.
If you cut them along the perfolation, the cards can be used for game. Snap or Memory game?

Also you can make different stories as changing the order.

Kids.Modern

I went to an event Kids.Modern.
OKIDO and my tutor, Peter and his wife were taking part there.
Sophie & Rachel.
Peter and Sally's stall.
Sally's beautiful knit stuffs,
and chairs designed by Peter and stitched by Sally.
The card works to hide a stain on the chair as well.

Very delicate and beautiful design and work.

Peter

Sally
OKIDO's place.
New issue. I like this cover very much, but, the character in the centre is not Messy Monster who is always in OKIDO but it's AiAi who is Rachel's another character....

The theme is Babies.

If you look at it carefully, you'll see something familiar.


This stall was amazing.
Old children's books. Everything was nice.
I loved his collection.
Whether was so nice-


What I bought today.

children's book.

I just noticed this book suits OKIDO's new issue well.



and a game.
