Thread: Harry Clarke (1889-1931) was one of Ireland’s greatest artists. His medium was stained glass & he created astonishing masterpieces which integrated Celtic art with Art Nouveau. His imagination was the finest expression of Irish gothic & ideal for Samhain/Halloween
One of Clarke’s most moving works is his Agony in the Garden (1924) which is in the Institute of Education & Celtic Culture in Dingle. It is one of a number of stunning windows in the Institute
As a treat for Halloween when you buy one of my original drawings you can choose a second free. Just identify the ones you want & private msg me & I will create a listing for you! It’s only for today!

Thread: Halloween, as the world knows it, is an Irish invention from ancient Irish-Celtic roots. It’s correct name is Samhain & marks the end of the Harvest. It was culturally appropriated by the Christian Church as All Hallows’ Eve. Here’s an overview.
Samhain was seen as the time when the concrete & the spirit worlds met & was a portal to the Otherworld. All sorts of spirits, particularly malevolent ones, walked amongst the living! Irish people brought it with them as they migrated to all parts of the world from the 4th C.
As ‘Trick or Treating’ has been postponed this year I have a treat for today only. Two original drawings for the price of one. Just select the drawings you’d like in my Etsy shop & message me & I’ll set up a listing for you to raise your Spirits!!

Thread: Here’s a group of my original ink drawings. They are inspired by love, joy & hope. I work from the subconscious so when images enter my mind I put them down on paper. These ideas are drawn from my experiences as a scientist & a historian. Take a look

Information: Non-essential items & the Irish Covid-19 lockdown.

Based on Twitter & clips from RTÉ there’s a few people (& businesses) upset by which items are considered essential & non-essential. Let’s look at the logic of the decision-making.
One item held up as being unfair as as sold in supermarkets is alcohol. At first glance that makes sense. That is, unless you live with a violent abuser where drinking themselves to sleep is a relief for their partner & kids. I’ve seen this flagged many times by survivors.
Another item held up was clothes. The challenge with clothing is people take their time browsing. Covid exposure is measured not only by length of contact with a carrier but also is measured cumulatively. So the longer you spend in an interior the greater the chance of contagion

It’s been noted that funeral wreaths are not obtainable under the current lockdown. Here’s the quick, simple & easy way to make them as well as a central point where information on local flower shops/garden centres that can provide them.
Get a wire clothes hanger & bend it into a circular shape. Twist the hook part until it comes off.
Now get some florists wire (if you have it) or failing that, green wool, green thread or fishing line. Gather up either Evergreen foliage (Lawsons Cypress or Holly are ideal) cutting off the bushiest sprigs.
