Conquering 32 counties

“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” 
― Ernest Hemingway. 

So we managed to travel to all 32 counties in Ireland and I've put that together on a 80cm x 80cm canvas - a giant keepsake! I bought a map of Ireland, cut it out and mounted it on an existing picture canvas (recycling?) that I do not care much for. Then Audrey helped me paint the water surrounding it with acrylics and gave it a coat of varnish.

I had to label all the photos according to the counties to remember where they are supposed to go. Then I embellished it with objects that are significant to that particular county and did some journalling as well. 

Finally, Michael and I put our signatures at the bottom right corner to authenticate it. I'm quite happy looking at it on the wall! 

On another note, since Autumn is around the corner, I've decided to make 2 new cushion covers.
