I started by glueing down some thorn pieces out of an Oxford English dictionary.
Next came the Union flag, which I colored with my inktense pencils, still loving them.
On the cross I wrote everything that sprung to my mind when thinking about English: cottages, bobbies, high tea, the tube,rainy wheather, pubs, bulldog, inspector Morse, rugby, left driving, Royal Ascott, Oxford English, Harry Potter, gardens, Queen Elisabeth, The Beatles, Beatrix Potter, Big Ben, London eye, cabs, full English breakfast, an island and Wimbledon.
In the 4 rectangles I glued pieces of tissuepaper on which I stamped things that remind me of England: roses, high hats, crown and cups of tea.
Well done, Vicky - that's about as British as one could be - love it!
ReplyDeleteThx Winn, I am in fact not British.
DeleteFabulous page - love the flag as a backdrop.
ReplyDeleteThx kaybee, not too cliché then??
DeleteAll things English are present and correct! I think it's a very eloquent page, especially with the flag as background.
