dinky...

...dinky, dinky disco ducks! Soooooooooooooo cute! only 3.5cms tall and wide. Not surprising these were a challenge to disco, but I managed it. Come as a trio and can be found on my etsy site - artyemily

black is the new trend....

....2014 has seen me finally getting my hands on black tiles. I was commissioned last week to create 2 disco ducks in silver, blue and black...it took quite a search, so if anyone knows any suppliers in the UK please let me know.

I will be doing a limited edition of black incorporated designs, found only on my etsy site.

mum's the word.....

....on a top secret commission duck mission I have worked on recently. I was asked to make ducks specially made for a baby shower in the US of A, the themes were very personal to the mum to be: John Deere, teacher and the Northwest Bearcats.
Here are the finally 3 ducks, but sssh baby shower hasn't happened yet!

Princess Duck....

...my latest commissioned duck, Princess Duck which is super sequinned and winging it's way to a little birthday girl :)

Margate Ducks......

.....the ducks have gathered together and have made their way to the pop up shop in Broad Street, Margate Old Town and will be there until the 25th July. Open daily 10am-5.30pm. Also on show are my hand-stitched portraits and photography by John Mayne. http://piefactorymargate.co.uk/pop-up-shop

befriend.....

......Disco Ducks are looking for your friendship. They have set up their own profile on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001743775519

winter wonderland....

.....so the ducks have been enjoying this wintery, festive time.......

a weekend of disco.....

......d.i.s.c.o filled the airwaves last weekend as the disco ducks hit the town of Ramsgate, not once but twice. The first was the disco-duck-oteque I set up as part of opening my studio to the public - they shaked their little tailfeathers good and proper!

The following day they were out in force, 200 in fact for the 'hook-a-disco-duck' event. These were special Disco Ducks created during workshops with the local community, one super glitterama was secretly picked as the 'diva' duck and whoever hooked this special one ducky won a prize. The boating pool had never looked so pretty!
Disco-duck-oteque of dreams.

The one I created!

Ducks taking over the town......

.....as part of 'A Summer Squall', Ramsgate Arts Art festival taking place 28th-30th August 2010. On the 30th will be a Hook-a-duck event at the boating....but this is no ordinary hook-a-duck o no sir its Disco Ducks!! Groups across Ramsgate will be creating the most glamourous, glittery Disco Diva Ducks which will be hooked up and ready to be picked. Throughout the festival there will also be a duck display in the east wing of the boating pool - you'll be quackers to miss it! For more details check out the Ramsgate Arts website: http://www.ramsgatearts.org

a lovely find....

....ok so this isn't my own work but it is a lovely, beautifully illustrated rubber duck story that i had to share with you. enjoy.

duck in a discotheque....

so here is the new line in my duck family, ducks in their very own discos. Superb. Kitsch, glittery fun - just what everyone needs!!

rubber duck face!!!

ok so i do appear to be obsessed with the lovely little characters...so much so that i have face painted one onto myself today.......

i even squeezed a rubber duck for sound effects!!!!!!!!

what a trooper.....

....now unfortunately i can not take any credit for this fantastic duck. This is the creation from the warped mind which is pid, and is my birthday present for last year which i actually recieved at new year!!!anyway...

its genius and it left me speechless (a rare moment)so here it is folks my stormtrooper rubber duckie complete with its own starship - wicked!!

now you're probably thinking yes thats very nice but you can buy them in the shops..which is true and i would love a light up stormtrooper duck but this one is different, you can actually take off the helmet.....

what a handsome duckie :)

and yes i have been sad enough to video it too......

may the force be with you........

flashing and festive!.....

well well well lucky you, my second post in one day - you are honoured!!hahaha. anyway, i want to start off with a little video of a duck my mate marty gave me as a christmas present recently.......





awwwwww isn't it sweet, and he fits in rather nicely with his fellow disco ducks.....speaking of which.....
i have added a festive twist to the good ol' disco duck.....














a pair of antlers!!!!!

i have also finished another duck, this time a glittery rainbow duck - a cheeky little duckling which is covered in multi-coloured glitter, a blue feathery tuft....


















a rainbow medallion round neck....
















and a cheeky heart at the back!



though i do feel there is a slight resemblance with this duck to a certain Mr T!!!!

see for yourself:

introducing..miss diva duck.

As i mentioned in my last post, i have been commissioned to make a diva duck. Well everyone it has been finished and stunning she is too.......with luscious red lips, big black flirty eyelashes and a twinkle in her eyes, she is the epitomy of diva.






ps. i have also put some of the ducks and duck paintings onto ebay, but be quick they finish next weekend - to find them type in rubber duck.
