How clever is this? Sicily looks like it's getting kicked behind the sofa.

    ReplyDelete

  29. 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!

  50. 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!

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

    ReplyDelete
  52. 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

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