I'm running a raffle for this kufiya inspired crios (trad irish belt) to help the Sharaf family who recentlyhad to evacuate Jabalia refugee camp with nothing. Raffle is open until October 25th. Tickets are $5.

The Gleninsheen Gorget • Clare • c.800–700 BC Look carefully at this stunning gold gorget the next time you're in the National Museum of Ireland. You can see an array of goldworking techniques that form a dazzling testament to the skill of the goldsmiths of Late Bronze Age Ireland.

We are in the last 20 hrs to bid on this weaving I did inspired by the Bifröst of Nordic mythology to support the National Nordic Museum in Seattle. This is their biggest fundraising event of the year and helps them run all their events and regular museum activity. Link in my bio!

How fare thee on this day the very first in the merry month of may?

Current weaving! Flowers for spring!

Today I was reminded this little gold boat from 100 BCE Ireland exists and decided to pass on the joy! Little boat is just under 20 cm long and was found as part of the Broighter hoard on the shore of Lough Foyle in County Derry in 1896. #archeology

Saint Brendan said "Trans Rights" From The Enchanted Bay: edited by Cormac O'Malley, collected by Ernie O'Malley

The ancient Irish ancestors are speaking. They say its the time for an old way of justice to return. They are reminding us what we do to a failed would be king who does not serve the people. The time to chop off nipples is nigh.

JUST FOUND A STORY ABOUT A TRANS MAN TAKING REVENGE FOR THE MURDER OF HIS FAMILY!!!

Bifröst! Current pick-up weaving on the loom! I'll be donating it to the National Nodric Museums annual Northern lights auction! It's inspired by the famous rainbow bridge from Norse mythology.

Crios weaving of the day! Color gradient variation of a black and white pattern from a 1918 crios currently at the National Museum of Ireland.

Brigid of Kildare swore to never marry a man. She have one beloved her anam cara and fellow nun Darlughdach. Once Darlughdach snuck from their bed to meet a man. Only to change her mind upon discovering her shoes filled with coals. They lived all their lives together dying exactly a year apart.

I made this tiny Brigid's cross out of pine needles I found on the ground.

Annual reminder to leave out a bit of cloth, a ribbon, a scarf, or even a jacket to be blessed by Brigid and to be your Brat Bhríde for the year! They ward off headaches, and do a bit of protection. Also a kufiya makes a wonderful choice as a sign of solidarity. #Brigid

What did I do today? Reed. No not read. Reeds. Getting reedy to make Brigid crosses. Did you know the iconic four armed cross was popularized by RTÉ in 1961. There are actually many types of Brigid crosses the most common being a diamond shape! 🌈☘️🧈🔥🌈 #brigid

👀 these trews from 17th century Killery out of this nice blue and white wool? The original would have been black or blue and probably yellow.

I've restocked my transflag book marks if anyone is interested. They are pay what you want as a donation to the Transgender Law Center. Or if you are trans and want one free let me know. Book is "Godly heathens" by H.E. Edgmon. Bookmarks are made by my own agender they/them hands.

Anyone wanting one of the Brat Bhríde I made before imbolc/brigids day should order soon! A Brat Bhríde is a irish tradition of leaving out a ribbon or bit of cloth the eve of Feb 1st. To be blessed by Brigid. These were left of last year for the 1500 anniversary of Brigid.

A typing wrists rest I made out of a crios (traditional irish belt) weaving. I've sewn several of these in the past out of cloth, but it was fun to use my own weaving!

Going into 2025 crow swooped 🥲

My saffron flowers from back in October! In Ireland in the 1500s saffron was a huge import, but not for food. It was used as a dye to achieve a lovely yellow color that was extremely popular in clothing especially for the Léine a large shirt with big sleeves. #irishhistory #historicfashion

I make kits to learn to weave a traditional Irish crios (belt) using the old loomless method! A crios was worn as part of the folkwear of the Aran Islands! It's comes as shown all ready to weave with about 2" prewoven to get you started! #traditionalcraft #crios #irishcrios #weaving #folkwear

Two criosanna (traditional Irish belts) I made as a wedding gift for a friend! The wider of the two is a color variation of a crios from 1918 that is in the National Museum of Ireland. The original is black and white. They used them for a handfasting ceremony.

Most fashionable 1300 gay shoes! Poulaines or crakow were said by a Benedictine monk to be worn by those who "gave themselves up to sodimidic filth". Don't mind the inaccurate construction of these. They were the first shoes I made.
