POSTCARD CHALLENGE

Week 21 - England..

ahh so nice to come home..

BUT, so much to choose from. I ended up doing a collage of drawings and ephemera, from around the country.

This is my page. In the background the flag of St. George, a castle, some old stamps, an advert for the National Gallery, a label from some Newcastle brown Ale, an iconic red telephone box and good old Shakespeare.


My card is from up here in the north of the country...


It stands upon a hill .

It is a steel sculpture of an angel, 20 metres (66ft) tall, with wings measuring 54 metres(177ft) across. The wings do not stand straight out, but are angled 3.5 degrees forward. This was done to create 'a sense of embrace'

Here you can see a slideshow of how the angel was made..


Here is the back of my card..

  12. Another comment from me, to say that I have given up trying to do comments on those who still have CAPCHA switched on. I am partially sighted, and these words make it soooooooooooooooo difficult and time consuming. I will still visit the blogs, but comments are impossible! Valerie
