'Gone over the top' finds a permanent home
« on: October 22, 2019, 09:08:11 PM »
Some will remember this piece which I produced for the centennial Armistice remembrance last year.
It was on display for 24 hours and seemed to be destined to spend the rest of time in a box.
I am delighted to report that Poppy Scotland have taken the piece for permanent display in their premises in Inverness.
Those with a very acute memory might notice that the poppies now have 4 petals in keeping with the Poppy Scotland style rather than the 2 petal design of the RBL.
Regards
Nick

That's quite an honour for you and a great place for this piece to spend its life.

Well done Nick, I still have "Some corner of a foreign field", having made a number of attempts to find it a home. The daft thing is though, each time I take it out of the box the barbed wire has punctured the bubble packaging !

Great to hear that I am sure it will be a talking point. Good to have something like this on display rather than hidden in a box.
