Words and Pictures - souvenir

Words and Pictures - souvenir

I bought this on a holiday to Vietnam 4 years ago. I fell in love with it because it's so kitsch-y crass. I love the fake flowers and the way Buddha is floating on the fake water. Yes, that water is fake too. It's like a wierd jelly. It makes me giggle every time I look at it. It also reminds me of my amazing holiday, the beautiful, beautiful, beautiful people I met and the wonderful, creative country of Vietnam.

Make sure you check out more words and pictures here...

(To give you an idea of its size it measures about 20cm across.)

It's crazy ~ but how ever did you get it home?

I put it in a box and took it on as hand luggage. Customs/Quarantine had no problem with it. I was lucky. It all went very smoothly.
