  31. The boot of Italy kicked Sicily all the way into the Mediterranean Sea. Spain felt Hungary, took a bite of Turkey, on a plate of China, all covered up in Greece. < We used to recite this in school! :D Plus, LOVE the idea for a map in parts!

  54. This is such a great idea! I have been racking my brain trying to think of a unique idea to decorate our very tall, very dark stairwell wall. A framed vertical map or even a framed vertical collage of some sort would look snazzy. Thank you for sharing!

  55. Great Idea! But sardinia is lost and also a bit of Veneto and Trentino...

    ReplyDelete

  56. Ooh, I like this a lot. This would make a really good gift for someone on a smaller scale (or large as long as you knew them well enough to give them something that takes up a whole wall!).

    Joanna, I love it, and you made the same observation as old saw:

    Austria felt a little bit Hungary,
    Dipped a bit of Turkey in a bit of Greece.
    And long-legged Italy kicked poor Sicily
    Into the Mediterranean Sea.

    Hehe

  67. My favorite part of Italy, the island of Sardegna (which is not a small island by any means) isn't there! Sad.
