JUBILEE GHERKIN 

I created this piece for June as it is our Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations this weekend (sadly the weather is miserable). The pigeon is flying over my favourite building in London, which is nicknamed 'The Gherkin'. I've decorated the windows with some Coronation silver charms from a bracelet my Gran bought me in 1953: the orb, the royal coach and the throne. Then I found some cheap and cheerful Jubilee ear-rings and some Union Jack buttons and beads and stitched them on as well. The red London bus started life as a key-ring. It was fun to do, but I'm not very good at geometry and the windows are a bit wonky!
