Once in July 2007 I was sitting in my room gazing at a laminated sheet of paper which had pictures of every international flag on it. I don't know when or where it came from especially because it had Yogslavia and didn't have East Timor and most Oceanian flags. So anyways I was in my room and suddenly I thought "In case this paper gets lost I'll draw all the flags that are on it". I started drawing Andorra (for some reason the paper thing skipped Afghanistan, Albania, and Algeria) and was satisfied. Then to my horror I saw that the next one (Angola) had tons of black and I didn't have a black crayon. I used a pencil and to this day it looks kind of odd. At the end of the day I had it up to Azerbaijan (#8 for the day). I kept going and to celebrate Cinco de Mayo (2008) I did Mexico even though I was only on Kenya and went in alphabetical order. A few odd things were 1. I did Antarctica and Greenland, 2. I did north and south Korea as Korea (north) and Korea (south), 3. I spelled Israel like I-s-r-a-l instead of I-s-r-a-e-l (I fixed that), and last of all 4. I did Nepal like I cut a piece of paper into the right size and then did it.
Remember I said the paper thingy skipped a few countries? Well I did them like we got this world map with
all the world flags at the bottom. I then did them and scooted all the other flags over and put them in (Then I was on Tonga so that was a nightmare). Here is a list of all the flags I had to make late;
East Timor,
Kiribati,
Kosovo,
Montenegro,
Naru,
Serbia,
Taiwan,
Tuvalu,
Vanuatu
(I already did the 3 "A"s)
P.S. Kosovo, Montenegro, and Serbia are breakups of Yogslavia and the following: Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Naru, and Kiribati are in Oceania
P.P.S. This project took me 2 2/3 years, 3 sets of crayons and 3 pencils, 2 binders, 99 clear protector sheets and 198 sheets of paper.
