Children everywhere have been making rainbows tohelp cheer us up during this dreadful time of Coronavirus pandemic and I was inspired to make one too, using stamps.
Yellow stamps, as always were the most difficult to find, but I eventually found just enough from GB, France, USA and Japan to complete the yellow band of the rainbow. On a second rainbow I cheated slightly and used gold 1st class stamps! This was an absorbing activity for a few hours and while making my collage, I was contemplating the sad reality of how many lives have now been lost in so many of countries where my stamps have come from. The iconic US stamp featuring the Statue of Liberty, a proud symbol of New York, is a poignant reminder of how tragically large cities are the worst affected by the virus.
