For the uninitiated, these are Irish Throwing Stars, an ancient weapon wielded by St. Brigid during the 1916 Rising, striking fear into the hearts of the British, and responsible for the eventual smiting of both Cromwell and Thatcher.

The Biddy is an Irish folk tradition linked to Brigid’s Day and Imbolc, where groups wear white and handmade straw headpieces to travel around playing music while carrying a Brídeóg (a model Brigid in child form), warding off evil and bringing luck.

Brigid is associated with blacksmiths, spring, and cattle, among other things, and stories like blinding herself to repel men's unwanted attention. The three-armed cross here represents both the triple goddess and the trinity. Lá Fhéile Bríde shona daoibh 🌸

Don't think I've spoken to a single artist who didn't struggle this Christmas, and I spoke to a lot, so even if it's not my work I'd really encourage people to try to support a local artist that you like instead of big corporations - every single sale makes a real, tangible difference to their life.

Mortifying trying to promote work at this time of year, but unfortunately it's still necessary to make a living from drawing due to a significant delay in successfully wooing a wealthy Kerry farmer and being whisked off in his John Deere to a life of diamond-encrusted wellies

The selkie is a creature from Irish, Faroese and Scottish folklore who has the appearance of a seal in water, but sheds its skin to come ashore and reveal a human form. If a human finds the skin and hides it, the selkie cannot return to the sea. 🦭

Continuing the spooky theme, the Morrigan triple goddess - and the crows they are heavily associated with - is Irish mythology's foreteller of death or victory in battle ⚔️

A púca for the season that's in it 👻
All prints of this one are hand-finished with gold paint, and it's also on sale (along with many other spooky prints) until the end of the month.

In many ways, women and spiders have a great deal in common - independent, do a lot of work that isn't seen or valued, spend the autumn scuttling around in the shadows on our hairy legs looking for a mate before the winter sets in while people point at us and scream, etc.

There's a REALLY quick and easy survey for the public consultation on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme - it only takes a few seconds, anyone can fill it in, and it could make a huge difference to arts workers in Ireland. Take a few ticks to place a few ticks here: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/2025-public-consultation-BIA

Anyone have solid information re: impact of tariff changes on sale of art prints to the US? Any information I've seen is unclear but suggesting yes, and I've already seen Irish artists saying they're not shipping to the US anymore from this month onwards to avoid customers being hit with hefty fees

Maybe I just prefer things a little looser and relaxed and there's a (small but vocal) element here that are very into Rules and having everyone align with their specific way of doing social media and it makes it harder to enjoy. But that's a likely me problem. Square peg round hole etc.

Still struggle a lot with how po-faced and humourless this side of the internet can be. Vast majority of people on here are absolutely fine, but the ones who aren't tend to need to let you know.

Did this elsewhere already but the answers were cute, so: If you're in a relationship and met your partner organically, in the wild, free range (not on the apps or online), how did you meet? Would like some Offline Meeting Stories to guard against being sucked back into the tentacles of Tinder Et Al.

Cartoon of Senan banishing the Cata, sea-monster of the Shannon, from Scattery Island (Inis Cathaigh - the island of Cata) - albeit with slightly more whacking than in the original story.
