Nautical..... But nice.....

Hi everyone, 

I'm having a sort out in the loft & found this ship,

I bought the ship for my darling Dad & decided to make a background & frame it.

I stained white wallpaper to resemble the sky,

Then made some clouds with cotton wool,

I also drew in some seagulls,

The finishing touch was the sea, I made this with tissue paper & coloured it blue & white.

I would like to enter this project into the following challenges.

Scribble & Scrap #17 Anything Goes

Sadly my darling Dad died several years ago, That's why this is in the loft.
