Caption Competition
Winning enties in the caption competition.
The competition is now closed.
This week, artist Chris Naylor sculpts a grass Mona Lisa with a pair of hedge-clippers. But what's being said?
Thanks to all who entered. The prize of a small amount of kudos to the following:
6. Jordan D
"You can have it any colour you want. As long as it's green."
5. FrankGrimesJnr
"Just give it a couple of weeks growth and that'll be Che Guevara done."
4. Tremorman
Mown mown mown that's all she does
3. W_K_Snowdon
"You've got yer urban graffiti artists, then you've got yer rural ones."
2. Watsonch
Finally brought to justice - however, Banksy appeared to be enjoying his community service.
