Animal Farm

November 8th 2011
This month's theme at Gingersnap Creations is "On the Farm" - a great theme as I lived on a farm for quite a few years. The new Chestnut Theme Challenge is "Farm Fresh" and I've created this card especially for the challenge - LOL they are drinking "freshly" poured glasses of wine!!!


As soon as I saw the "farm" theme I thought of the George Orwell Novel "Animal Farm" where the pigs take over LOL!!! So my card shows the farm pigs "celebrating" their new found "status"!!!

All animals are equal,
but some are more equal than others.
George Orwell, Animal Farm, Chapter 10


The "pigs" image is from the Phenomenon 1859 Store at Etsy.

    Animal Farm I first read at school where it had the most profound effect on me. I have lost counts how many times I've read it since those days.
    Brilliant thinking on your part to use Orwell as your inspiration - I salute you!!!!
