Just completed this stamp collage inspired by the beautiful ship, The Grayhound, which visited the docks in Gloucester this year, and is now at sea. I've used stamps, envelopes, and also created the rigging from thread, with some painting too. Prints in various sizes and cards will be available shortly. Please let me know if you are interested.
Although I boarded some of the other ships, unfortunately this time I was just a little too late to go on The Grayhound, and watched her sail away down the River Severn on a working voyage with regular crew and some passengers.
She goes to many interesting destinations including the Portugal, Madeira, the Azores, France, Spain and Ireland, collecting cargo en route, and also taking passengers.
The Grayhound is a Lugger built between 2010-12 and is a 5/6 replica of the original 18th century vessel. built in Cornwall.
