Gorgeous illustration - it reminds me of Boewulf, which I havent read in a very long time...make a very interesting WW! Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great day!
Thanks for stopping by! The material was similar to quilt lining but others were on all sorts of different types of material. They were so beautiful but the one I posted was my favorite!
Colin, They did have time and they made use of it, to be sure! Countless prisoners with political status actually earned university degrees courtesy of the British rate payer while inside. When they came out, they took up politics, and look what happened. In a very strange way, all this may have contributed to what stability there is in Northern Ireland now. Art and education are amazing!

ReplyDeleteHi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteThey were certainly very creative and had a lot of time on their hands. It's nice to see that some of this work is still preserved :)
Colin,

Very interesting picture. A lot of detail.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty. It looks Asian but I am certainly no expert. And a big old dangerous mouth!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being here.
