Been seeing this poster all over Leicester, and today decided to go and see what it was about! Artist Shauna Richardson's three giant crocheted lions, known as "The Amazing Lionheart project" and to be honest I found it pretty amazing! I didn't want to stop looking at them! I liked how you come see the crochet change direction on different parts of their bodies. Their size made them look impressive too. They were created in the London 2012's Cultural Olympiad challenge: Artists taking the lead. This is one of 12 commissions across the UK. These lions have been developed to reflect Richard the Lionheart's three lions crest.

Only armed with my phone, the photos aren't the greatest and the reflects off the glass made it even more difficult to get a good photo.
