Happy birthday for those to whom I should already have wished it and a happy anniversary to the fraglet and Ivan. Wow, a year already... :o

A resized version doesn't really do it justice, but... it is astonishing.

And in order not to be insufferable, here is a small version on which you won't be able to see any detail, but if you wish you can also use one of the links to download a larger file - which still will not treat you to the effect it should in full scale, unfortunately.

Thank you all - thank you Sparkout (he got first looksee because he's the guru!) :D It's at the printers at the moment - even they were impressed. It'll be 10 foot long by 5 foot high.

It took me much longer to find Titanic images than making it. But the Titanic building in Belfast are paying for it in conjunction with the City Council. They might also use the image to produce merchandise such as posters and jigsaws.

My next project is to get a lie in some day! Seriously, Im writing another book about 75 years of Nettlefield. I have an ex-pupil writing poems for us. Im also in contact with a local author and we're going to help each other swopping images. :D

BTW, Sparkout is any guru - he's MY guru! :mrgreen: :lol:

Well, I think you should share him around. I could do with a guru or two. :lol:

Good luck with the next project then!!

That Titanic image is amazing Redfraggle. Well done!

Can't help thinking a jigsaw of it would be pretty complicated! :shock:

Good luck with the book - and the lie-in! :lol:

What a rotten bunch :( I don't think Sparkout looks anything like a Gnu


:twisted: :lol:

I had to read the dimentions on that Titanic image twice to make sure I was reading it right :shock: That will look brilliant.
