| RMS Mauretania - Stamp Collage - by Rachel Markwick |
More time at home, due to the Coronovirus situation requiring us to Stay Home, means more time to complete a project which has been a long time in the making, or I should say, mullng over .Previous posts have mentioned R M S Mauretania, the beautiful Cunard liner, and the Puffins of Coquet island, as well as a trip to Bristol where I managed to talk my way into the now disused Mauretania pub which contains some of the fixtures and fittings of the ship. The last thing to do was to add the masts and rigging sewn into the paper. I've really enjoyed the research, reading about the ship's various transformations over the years, in both wartime and peacetime, and have used some artist's licence with the paint colours which were the original ones when she was first launched, and of course the scale of the Puffins!

I will have prints available in the near future when life gets back to normal. Please let me know if you are interested.
