amberdreamsNot the London Elephant and Castle but two separate trails - the elephant is going to Lichfield and is being sponsored by the cathedral, and the castle is for a trail in Swansea, and is called Fortress Freedom.
Lichfield is in Staffordshire so the ellie is called Staffie, and has a handful of Staffordshire landmarks and wildlife featured. The design is another variation on the one I originally did for Newcastle, and is now being recycled on my mum's bear too. Well I like the colours and it's an effective way of highlighting a few local buildings etc, without having to do a full scene. š
As usual for these trails, I'm sharing more here than I should, so depending on people not to share in public until the trails go live in July.
Staffie
Finished but unvarnished - side with Tamworth bandstand and Sutton Coldfield town hall tower
Side with Lichfield cathedral and Aethelswith's statue from Tamworth (if you've watched The Last Kingdom you'll know Aetheswith, daughter of King Alfred and wife to the King of Mercia)
Fortress Freedom (in progress)
To give you an idea of scale, I can just about touch the tops of the crenellations on the castle but I was on tiptoes (I'm 5'1") š
