Yet again just in time for this week's Craft Barn Challenge where the theme was Quintessentially English.
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.
The next challenge is already announced, going to try to be quicker this week.
