As the sun sets on the British Empire, she waves to her subjects

Sometimes you see a thread title and have no idea what to expect
why do you have a plastic queen? Do you hold it (the plastic queen ... ) tight in your hands close your eyes and think of England when your missing the place???

Reminds you to stay away Chris? Nice idea. There is as you may well know, a regular photographer who takes pics of small toy figures, within inquiring places. I did buy a friend the photographers book, but cannot remember who the author was..

that certainly puts a new twist on the phrase "god save the queen." great idea. wonderfully shallow dof and love her imposing shadow.

LOL - she really is solar powered - the solar panel is in her handbag, and makes her hand do the royal wave

I got her as a birthday present this year, and we got her out yesterday when the grandkids came over.

We had the girls doing the correct wave

Fabulous idea Chris. And nicely obscure. I like it, especially the shadow.

Julian, the artist you are thinking of is Slinkachu - Slinkachu.com - Home.
