Onto the Next Job.

No more Piñatas for a while. Now we are making props for the next photo shoot and buying colourful ribbon and loving some of the vintage finds in our magic shop of wonders (thanks Ruairi). Oh Yes. Nothing shall be disclosed (?!) as of yet but watch this space later in the year.

Fascinating Fireworks.

Why do they never cease to impress? These photographs are from the Thames Festival Finalé last month. Anna wondered whether Ken Livingstone had something on his mind when he oversaw the choreographing of the fireworks in the last photograph...ooooohhh, aaaaaahhhh, ooooooohh. Hmmmmm.

Piñata Challenge!

Because we have loved working with the YCN guys so much, we have prolonged our involvement in the Piñata project. After deciding to photograph and name each piñata individually, Nick came up with the idea of setting a challenge and awarding a prize to the person/people who could break open a piñata in the most interesting way...click here to chart the progress and/or get involved yourselves. We are VERY excited to see what people come up with!

Live Webcam in the YCN Office.

Come and watch us online here, at work in the YCN office as of tomorrow. This is our latest project and a collaboration with YCN. We have spent the last few days having fun, getting inspired, collecting bits and pieces to go in the piñatas and sourcing materials to make them with...now the factory operations begin. We will be starting our production line of piñatas tomorrow with the helping hands of some kind volunteers. Each piñata will promote the 'Call for Entries' which includes a selection of exciting new projects, tasks and competitions, set by various companies, for young creatives to get involved in. Visit the YCN website here for more details about how to get involved.

Piñata Party!

The day finally came for the piñata to be smashed to smithereens! Thanks to our good friend Jess Bonham for helping us set up and phtograph the action. Nick and James from YCN came down to 'feed' their curious minds. Nick went straight for the cherryade and I have to say Jess, Anna and I were bouncing off the walls for most of the evening.
Alex Bec managed to get the continuous snaps that make up the animation. Thanks to all. What a lovely, sunny, funny day. We are intrigued to see how YCN might use them in their next book...
