Never able to draw the chameleon just right... here is your solution :)

We love connecting projects to books, and we're always inspired by the amazing group of bloggers who participate in the Virtual Book Club for Kids (you can also check the club out on Facebook) as the group comes up with some great extension activities each month. This month's author was Leo Lionni. We chose to read and do a project using a book we've really been enjoying lately, A Color of His Own. This is the sweet tale of a little chameleon who is looking for one color to stay all the time, but keeps running into that challenge that chameleons change color. In the end, he winds up finding a friend to always be with so they can at least always be the same color together. I've used this book in the past as a primary teacher. It's a great way to talk about friendship and also about what makes us each unique. My boys have been loving the simple tale and the colorful illustrations this spring. For our activity extension we decided to use cray-pas and watercolors. I love how colorful this art technique can be. I sketched several chameleon outlines onto white drawing paper using permanent marker. (I'm including a printable copy here in case you just want to print one out, or use the printable to trace onto thicker paper.) Afterwards the boys and I each colored in a chameleon using the cray-pas. Big Brother and I thought about ways to create different patterns. Little Brother focused on just coloring his in, using mostly one color. After we were done coloring, we watercolored on top of the cray-pas. The watercolor doesn't stick to the cray-pas, and fills all the white spaces around it. We all had different strategies for painting. When they were done I cut the three chameleons out and we hung them in our play room. I love how they are a set but each one unique. That's part of what can also make this project a great classroom activity, especially for the start of a school year. Or turn it into a fun family project, with each family member creating a chameleon to represent themselves. What Leo Lionni books does your family enjoy? Have you read this one yet?

This original exhibition poster is from the Matsuya Ginza Department Store in Tokyo and is for an Ole Kortzau exhibition in 1983 featuring a very clean and colourful modernist version showing a billowing red and white striped sail in the colours of Japan. A very high quality poster. Designer: Ole Kortzau Screenprinted in Denmark Dimensions: 39.5 in x 27.5 in (100 cm x 70 cm) Ole Kortzau is a Danish architect, visual artist and designer who has had his own drawing studio since 1973, where he works with glass, porcelain, graphics, silver and textiles. He previously designed for Georg Jensen, Kvadrat, The Royal Porcelain Factory and Holmegaard. Matsuya Co., Ltd. (株式会社松屋) is a Japanese department store in Tokyo. Founded in 1869, it has stores in Ginza (est. 1925) and Asakusa (est. 1930s). The Ginza branch is the company's headquarters. What is special about exhibition and gallery posters is that they are an affordable way of getting good, unique art on the walls, as although it is not an artists original, neither is it something that has been mass reproduced. Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm. These posters are sent as unframed. They are delivered in a cardboard tube for protection. See the FAQ for more information on shipping, tracking and insurance options.

Gardénia Antigua is an olfactory reinterpretation of Giorgio Armani's own vision of the island of Antigua, his beloved paradise on earth where he enjoys spending precious moments. Just as light and sun create unique reflections on Antigua waters, this unisex fragrance is the perfect harmony between luminous and warm notes. It combines the scents of a solar Gardénia flower, softened by salty marine freshness and mandarin notes. The new fragrance is encapsulated in the iconic Armani/ Privé squared bottle, which unveils a more modern and luminous look for the whole "Les Eaux" collection. A black shiny lacquered cap, creating contrasts between its curves and the sleekness of the squared bottle. As the sun drenches the flower, the golden colour of the juice creates a certain flamboyance. Key notes: Gardenia Accord. Fragrance family: Floral White Flowers Musky.

Their founder Sam Farber designed the first OXO peeler for a pair of hands he loved more than his own. Sam and his wife Betsey were cooking together when Betsey’s mild arthritis made using old-fashioned metal peeler a struggle. They knew there had to be a better way. They created the now-iconic OXO handle—with its distinctive ergonomic form and signature non-slip grip—and paired it with a sharp stainless-steel blade. OXO was born, and the brand changed the way we prepare food—and think of household tools— forever.

An absolutely beautiful complete series of Familiar Wild Flowers by F Edward Hulme. With 200 bright colour plate illustrations and in gorgeous bindings with hand painted flowers on the front boards. A wonderful set in good condition. It is incredibly hard to find any copies of this edition, let alone a complete set. ***This is a LARGE and HEAVY set which needs courier shipping. Please forward your contact mobile number by separate DM or in the order notes for courier booking on this order. Etsy does not automatically collect mobile numbers at checkout and they are needed to book DPD.*** Hulme produced the five series of his Familiar Wild Flowers collection with 40 flowers described in detail in each volume, with an ornate decorative initial and footer and its own colour plate. The pages are clean, bright and tightly bound. With scattered foxing to the pages and tissue guards. The odd plate no longer has its tissue guard. Has an elegantly-inked name and address on the front free paste down of all the volumes (partially obscured in the photos for data protection). Also with armorial bookplates to the front paste downs. In striking green and gold bindings with the hand painted flowers on each. The boards are a work of art in themselves and being hand painted they are all unique. The green cloth covered boards have a gilt and black border on the front, with a blind stamped floral pattern in the middle of the rear board. With a thin scratch on the front board of Volume III which also has a crease in the cloth on the spine. Has some rubbing to the gilt on the spine of Volume V (see final photo) The gilt decoration and painted flowers on all volumes are as bright as when new and this set looks extremely eye-catching on display.
