    Wills n Kate True Love

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     harrydraws has a small collection of royal wedding mementoes and decided to create her own piece to commemorate this once in a generation event. 'I often refer to traditional tattooing iconography in my illustration work, and noticed a surprising amount of similarities to Royal commemorative ware - swags, flags, crowns, foliage, roses, serious portraits and lettering. So I used a combination of the two to produce my print "Wills n Kate True Love" to give a new twist on the Royal Crest.'
    - nancyt3, CNN iReport producer

    My name is Harriet Seed.

    I'm a print-maker and illustrator from Brighton, England.

     

    I have a small collection of Royal Wedding commemorative ware mugs, plates and tea cups which have been passed down the generations of my family. I have always loved these very British momentos, and decided to create my own piece of artwork to commemorate this once-in-a-generation event.
