My creative year 4/366

On my way into town this rainy morning, what crossed my path, only a beautiful Cockerel, black and gold with the most healthy looking comb, pure bright red, the photo isn't great, but the memory is everlasting.

It is said to be great luck, to hear a Cock crow in the morning, it breaks all the bad luck or bad wishes headed your way!
It reminded me of a Papier Mache pulp Cockerel, i made a while back, with some hens, they all sold and have gladdened their new owners and brought good luck.

Decided to make some more, and got the Papier Mache pulp ready!

My Creative Year 3/366

 I dug out this quick painting I did a good few years ago, of Brigid passing over the countryside, awakening the plants, breaking Winter's ice and blessing the "Brat Bride" a piece of white cloth that was left out on the night of the 31st January and used throughout the year as a relic of sorts.

I've decided to work again on the image and give it a new breath of life, with some very interesting innovations!

 My video on making Brigid's cross is my most watched one 

So, this year, i decided to make another one all about Spring, Imbolg and Brigid! Recently, I read of a three armed cross, so, decided to make one and said, while i was at it, make a five-armed cross, to symbolise the triskel and the pentacle, they came out well.

 Most of my focus will be about the coming of Spring, over the next while and why not, it truly is, the greatest time of year?

The new Winter

 One of the first "Glitter na Gig" Puppets I made was Winter and this year he got a re-vamp! The new Winter premiered at a show last Tuesday, 29th December, it was a show about Healthy eating for children and their parents. It was a real success and Winter still has some work ahead of him, before Spring takes over the throne.

I sandpapered the paintwork, to give him that distressed and weathered look!
