Royal Collection Trust Releases The Birthday Crown<\/em><\/h2>\n

One of the perks of being The Queen is that people make grand gestures for your birthday, which is technically in April, but celebrated in June, because, when you\u2019re the Queen, you can pick your own damn birthday. One of the gestures at this year\u2019s celebration is the publication of a children\u2019s book and its collage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Birthday Crown is a delightful tale of The Queen\u2019s search for the perfect crown to wear on the occasion of her birthday,\u201d said Royal Collection Trust. The book pairs Davide Cali\u2019s words with collage artist Kate Slater. An illustrator by trade, Salter\u2019s collage and papercut work often reads like miniature theatre sets in part because they are. She creates and photographs three-dimensional scenes out of cut-outs to produce the images.<\/p>\n

The Royal Family is no stranger to collage. Prince William and Kate Middleton asked collage artist Andre Monet to produce a wedding portrait of the couple. The Queen liked the collage of old newspapers and books so much, she requested one as well. The Birthday Crown<\/em> is available at www.royalcollection.org.uk\/shop<\/a><\/p>\n
