    This is such an verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry interesting piece of work Anita.

It reminds me of that song sung by Julie Andrews :) We have quite a few the same favs (good taste huh? ~ Anni xxxx

  • AnitaInverarity replied

    Thank you sweetie x

  • gottheshot

    gottheshot

    I see hearts and black cats have always been on your list of ‘favourite things’.
    That is nice to see on artwork from then and still ‘in the picture’ now.
    Excellent work this – how many single items can be put on one page and still be a work of art – in your case – millions. Love it.

  • AnitaInverarity replied

    Thank you so much. This was quite a fun thing to do. I like symbolism and hidden things to look for, as you know :))))) xx

  • gottheshot

    gottheshot

    Hi Anita I have just found some more ‘hidden things’ in your picture:
    A CND sign, poss a ‘number 40, a russian doll, a little bear or somethng at the end of your fingers, an ‘A’ with a circle around it and little cupcakes. :o) There’s loads more – I will have to have another look :o) Paul x

  • AnitaInverarity replied

    Shhhh Helpful hint- I have listed most things in the description hehe. Thank you for looking my friend xx

  • gottheshot

    gottheshot

    I promise I did mine without ‘cheating’ :o) LOL
    It was more fun that way – to try and find the favourite things ‘hidden in the picture’ rather than knowing what they are and then finding them.
    Wow, it seems I missed one or 27 :o) A great list of things I must admit.
    Nature, science, politics, travel, numbers, literature, art and a cuppa tea :o)

  • AnitaInverarity replied

    Hee Hee Gotta have the Cuppa Tea in there :)))))))) xxxx

  • gottheshot

    gottheshot

    I trying to do my ‘hidden comment’ with the cuppa tea – but you rumbled me :o)
    Hee, hee :o) Have a good day :o)
