A real folklore Irish Hawthorn Fairy Tree located at Mc Kinney's Bridge in Strabane, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland
Fairy trees are trees which fairy's are suppose to live and dance around but legend has it if you chop one down bad luck will follow for the rest of your life! So from fear and superstition almost all farmers in Ireland leave them standing alone in fields
The Manger
The manger is a strangely shaped valley, which is thought to have been formed by the melting of ice in the last Ice Age. Cheese rolling was held down the side of the valley during 'The Scouring of the White Horse' every seven years. Folklore suggests that the manger is the supernatural feeding place for the White Horse, which would travel from its vantage point on the crest of the hill on moonlit nights.
i painted the chairs with chalkboard paint and drew the rose detail in...you guessed it, chalk :) babushka seat covers and the mural is also painted by me.
Another wrist cuff that will be gifted to another dear friend.
The folkloric fabric was a gift from the awesome Patricia (Zencrafting), the lining was bought in Paris, and the button (that you can't see) was a gift from the awesome Joanie. The elastic cord was salvaged. I only re-embroidered some of the birds' details.
I am really enjoying making wrist cuffs these days, can you tell ?! LOL And I have a last one to show, but after that my friend will have gotten it.
