See-To-Believe Paddington Bear Pays Tribute To Queen Elizabeth II Artwork Made Out Of Pebbles!
As Wales Online reports, an artistic family decided to honor the late Queen by creating a Paddington Bear tribute made from pebbles and shells.
Ieva Slare, 50, revealed that she spent around five hours creating the image with the help of her family on Sandymere beach in Devon on Sunday, September 11, days after His Majesty died.

The family’s housekeeper has a degree in art and actually drew an image of Paddington Bear for the family, for which Slare’s husband Dzintars, 53, and children Emanuels, 14, and Elizabete, 12, find pebbles and shells on the beach. The creative artwork shows the beloved bear wearing a blue duffel coat and holding up his red hat while holding a suitcase. A tear, created by a strategically placed clam shell, was placed under his eye.

The group signed their work “Beach4Art” and stayed on the beach for several hours to watch it being carried away by the bound. The mother-of-four said she decided to use Paddington Bear to pay tribute to the late Queen as a thank you for the marmalade sandwich sketch she did with her in June during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Ieva Slare immigrated to the UK from Latvia about a decade ago, and finds the honor even more meaningful because Paddington Bear also arrived in the UK from a foreign country. Ieva, from Bideford, Devon, told the outlet: “We just got back from holiday and we got the sad news, it was a very strange and sad moment. We have lived in the UK for ten years and we are part of the community. We feel very grateful to the government and the country where we can live, work and raise our children. This is our home.”

“We have this responsibility, this duty, to pay good respect to our precious Queen, to her majesty. He was a very special and inspiring person who stayed with us for many years. We are a big royal family,” he added before explaining how he created the intricate sketch.
“We spent four to five hours collecting pebbles and arranging them and I spent two hours sketching and exploring and thinking about it beforehand,” he said. “We chose Paddington because he is a very special symbol after the Queen and Paddington dined together at Buckingham Palace.”

“He is very symbolic for us because we are foreigners and he is a refugee. He arrived from Peru to London looking for a family and a good place and he found it,” he continued. “We have received many letters, people write to us every day saying we made their day and made them smile. We didn’t realize how important it was.”
Many celebrities, including Paris Hilton and Elton John, also paid tribute to the late Queen after her tragic passing. Those interested can read their tribute to the late Queen by clicking here.
