lRoller print black glass effect on colour (or use wax crayons rubbings).
lDraw with marker on polythene.
lUse brown card/string collage.
lPhotographs of roadside floral tributes.
lInvestigate other memorials.
lLash sticks together to form cross.
lPaint stones.
lImages of things that have come since 70s e.g. mobile phones.
