Remembering the Children

We have made white peace poppies before but it was this absolutely stunning installation in the UK that really pushed me to think why not create something for the children?
We obviously can't do anything like the beautiful commemoration in the England, but we can do what jafagirls are known to do best, get crafty.

I just wish there was an international day of mourning and remembrance for all the children around the world who have/or are dying due to war, gun violence, etc. 
We are inviting people to create white poppies and add them to ours in town or create a memorial installation in your town.

  1. Awesome, you guys.

    Your 'Poppies for Peace' is SOOO beautiful. Love, love, love the composition and color scheme.

    And that aerial shot of The Tower's pretty chilling.
    (shame, shame) I was unaware of just how extensive and varied UNICEF's programs are. A storied charity that I'd half-forgotten about.

    Thanks again. Gonna put the word out about these. T
