tiddlySo we have this boring stairwell in our house. I've been doing stuff on it for a while- a picture from the Book of Going Forth by Day as a setting for a poem of mine, the date of
monsteralice and my wedding date in Maya glyphs...But the ceiling called for something really special. Something for my patron goddess, Brigid:
The quote is from Ella Young's The Earth Shapers, which is simply wonderful...
More pix, including the invocation I wrote for Her some years ago:
I mixed a couple of clip art/internet sources together for Brigid herself. Some of the other designs were freehand, and some were stencils. I laid down a large grid, and a smaller one for Her face, sketched things in using pencil, then inked the lines in and colored using acrylics and paint markers.
I'm very happy.
Next up... probably a panel for Bast, and a Mesoamerican sky-band on the Maya side, with a band of Egyptian stars on the Egyptian side...
Perhaps appropriately, we went to the Single Malt Whisky Extravaganza tonight, so I'm a wee bit "not drunk but drink taken," as it were...
