Border reiver banner cont

I have been working on my banner this last week and I feel I have finished it.  I have used Batik dye for the sky and a mixture of acrylic and interior wall paint for the rest.  I also finished off the people with sharpie pens to make them stand out more.  I also took a section of a poem which I got from a border reivers book,  extracted a verse and wrote it on a separate piece of material. I then cut the material to size then burnt the edges to add effect to the banner.  The burnt edges were to represent the fires and damage that were made to homes and crops during the reiving times.
