DG steps back in time

I'm taking the dapplegrey stall to a little village called Englefield Green tomorrow.

Englefield Green is very close to the town of Runnymede which is where the infamous King John famously signed Magna Carta 800 years ago.  For this reason, the brief for stallholders is 'we want to celebrate this great occasion, so help us enter into the spirit and dress your stalls in a medieval theme'.

Enter DG.  The face of dapplegrey art ...




Historical inaccuracies aside - this style of armour was more typical of that worn at the Battle of Agincourt, 200 years later - I've extended the heraldic theme with a bunting which I've spent the evening making.



See, I knew all those hours watching Blue Peter would come in handy one day!!!

And here in lies the real reason why you rock! Because I'd have looked at that request and gone, "HOW?!" lol! Awesome hun, and I love that they're celebrating this! DG looks very dapper! *grins* Blue Peter has a lot to answer for, I still have a bedraggled Tracy Island in my Mum's loft ;)

Oh yes, Blue Peter is responsible for my entire childhood spent tormenting my Mum for washing up liquid bottles and toilet roll tubes :)

Tracy Island was a particularly epic project!

And one that my mother wished I hadn't started O_O LOL!

Brilliant! May I say how splendid DG looks and I love the shield bunting. Ah Blue Peter, the bane of every mum's life, fortunately due to complete lack of artistic talent, mum got off lightly.
