OMG I want to make an Alan Plater ita bag SO BAD. And fill it with jazz and the Venerable Bede. The symbolism is off the charts in all his shows and that would be SO fun to pay tribute to.
Alright, the things I plan on including:
Venerable Bede holy card (I will likely make one) - Oliver's Travels
felt crocodile tail (will hand sew with felt I have lying around the house) - Get Lost!
Newcastle Brown Ale beer mat (have to find it in the house) - Oliver's Travels and Get Lost!
will make some buttons if possible - probably one of George Farquart (playwright) or The Recruiting Officer - Oliver's Travel's
Bix Beiderbecke stamp? Duke Ellington stamp? I might print out some copies of old concert tickets for them or something.
If I'm ambitious enough I might try to hunt around for a keychain or model of one of the cars used in the series - a 1972 Volkswagen 1600 Variant E type 36 (Oliver's Travels), 1971 Volkswagen 1200 type 1 or a 1970 Morris Minor 1000 Traveller [ADO59] (Get Lost!), or a 1978 Bedford HA (The Beiderbecke Affair).
a football reference of some sort
So far Iâve made the crocodile tail which turned out quite well, and ordered a Bede holy medal so it takes up less space than a holy card. Next Iâm going to try to tackle the button situation. I have a contact though.
