Saint or Goddess?

Later this week, February 1st will mark St Brigid’s Day. For those readers unfamiliar with her, Brigid is one of Ireland��s three national saints (the other two being Patrick and Columba), but not much is known about the woman. Supposedly she was born c.451, the daughter of a chieftain and a slave who had been baptised by St Patrick, was raised in a Druid household but then converted to…

hhhhhh I submitted my St Brigid portrait to Herstory Ireland's open call for artists for the light show thing they do in County Kildare every year for Lá Fhéile Bríd (this one being super special because it's the 1500th anniversary of her birth) AND THEY PICKED MINE (top left)

the post on their Facebook reads:

We are delighted to reveal some of the chosen artwork for the #Herstory Light Shows as part of the Brigid 1500 Festival in Kildare on the 31st January and the 1st February 2024.

Today we are sharing the artists Margaret McKenna @celticmyths

Sue Ellen Parkinson sue.ellen.parkinson

Maeve Finn @maevefinnartist

Ana Colomer @artwithanaennis

Aoife Cawley @aoifecawleyart

Catherine Mc Gagh @cmcgaghart

"This year we were thrilled to receive so many new incredible artworks from Ireland, Northern Ireland, USA, Canada, Germany, and Great Britain. Over the coming days we will share more of the artists.

In many ways Ireland is still catching up with the visionary Saint Brigid, 1500 years after she lived. It’s wonderful to see her continue to spark artists and activists in Ireland and across the world today. Brigid is a bottomless well of inspiration and wisdom!

This year’s theme is the Old Irish saying: 'There’s room for everyone under Brigid’s cloak'. In these divisive times, St. Brigid calls us to remember our true humanity, bringing a message of inclusion, harmony, and healing.

The Goddess Brigid was a pan-European Celtic goddess, honoured from Turkey to Spain. Saint Brigid ran a thriving monastery in Kildare and her true Christian message spread through pilgrimages far across Europe.

This year Herstory is delighted to partner again with Kildare County Council, CreativeIrl and Dodeca Ireland for the wonderful Brigid 1500 Festival in celebration of St. Brigid’s 1500 year anniversary.

Join us for the spectacular illuminations in Clane, Athy, Newbridge and Naas, with performances by fire-dancers on the 31st January and the 1st February 2024.

@wicklowwillow will also host family friendly Brigid Cross-making and Brat Bhride workshops in Newbridge and Clane. You can sign up for these free workshops at the event on the night.

All events are free and open to the public.

For more details see www.herstory.ie"

if any of my Irish followers plan on going to this event PLEEEEEASE send me pictures!

Mounted Irish Earl

Hi again!

Another Irish update! This time I wanted to attempt some figures to represent some Irish commanders on horseback, particularly with Never Mind the Billhooks' Deluxe edition giving rules for Irish cavalry!

Unfortunately finding miniatures to represent late-medieval/renaissance Irish cavalry and having them scale properly with the Perry Irish range is pretty difficult! Which meant going in to this would need some thought about converting existing figures to look the part of an Irish Earl and a mailed standard bearer to accompany him Choosing figures as bases to start the conversions was a bit of a task! I'm not hugely confident in my sculpting abilities, so I wanted to try to focus on a few key points to have the figures at least be visually recognisable without necessarily needing me to sculpt on large areas of mail or detailed clothes.

For the Earl, I visually based his appearance on the "Irish Chieftain" depicted in a few of the woodcuts in The Image of Irelande. It is worth pointing out that the book is very much a piece of Tudor English propaganda, intending to demonise the Irish and promote the English forces in Ireland, so it should be taken with a grain of salt! But in the absence of many other sources, it made for a good start

In the woodcuts, the noble ( has an interesting segmented helmet (with a plume), so that was something I definitely wanted to include. He's also wearing an interesting outfit, initially I thought it was some sort of brigandine or studded jack, but it seems to be more consistent with civilian doublets in other 16th century portraits rather than any kind of armour. Finally, as shown in the first image, the chief has a very impressive cloak (or brat), with a thick fur-like fringe, which was another definite requirement for me to include!

For the Brat, the Gaelic Attire Website (http://gaelicattire.com/brat.htm) provides a very useful explanation of its construction, and some great reproductions (which have made great reference images!). The fringes themselves appear to have been made of wool (occasionally styled to look like fur), and for the wealthy this would have been dyed in a variety of colours

With that in mind as a design direction, I decided to use one of the Perry Sudanese commanders as a base figure, given his pose, and his excellent cloak to make a base for the brat:

And from there, I gave him a head-swap for one of the Gallowglass figures to try and match the interesting helmet shown in the woodcuts, and added a plume to it. Then, with some filing down of the body and legs, I sculpted on a Tudor doublet and boots, and then added a fringe to the cloak to convert it into an Irish Brat

In terms of colours, I went with a copy of the Brat in Dürer's depiction of Gallowglass in the early 16th century, with the cloak itself being a deep red/maroon/pink, and the fringe being a bright yellow

The standard bearer was a bit of a simpler conversion, seeing as my design philosophy for him was more straightforward. I wanted him to essentially look like a mounted Gallowglass, so the rider was based on a Victrix Norman, with his head swapped for one of the Perry Gallowglass, and a The Assault Group targe added in place of the Norman shield.

The horse was a little more involved, seeing as the Irish cavalry of the 16th century notably did not use stirrups or saddles, instead opting for what appears to be more of a cushion strapped to the horse. Given that information, I trimmed the saddle off of the horse, and used green stuff to sculpt on the quilted cushion (which helped mask the width difference between the Victrix legs and the Perry horse too!)

And finally to round off the whole base, I added an Irish wolfhound from Footsore Miniatures

Currently I only have flags for Kildare and Desmond put together, but the standard bearer's flags are detachable, so they can be easily swapped out for any other Gaelic or Anglo-Irish lords (once I get the flags made!)

And here's the Earl of Kildare riding alongside a band of kern

Pest Proofing Against Rodents

Rodents are unwelcome intruders that can turn a comfortable home or business into an uncomfortable battleground. While eliminating existing infestations is crucial, the key to long-term rodent pest control lies in preventing them from entering in the first place. That’s why Exterminate Pest Control are professionals at pest-proofing in the ongoing battle against unwanted rodent guests.

Understanding Rodents:

Professional pest-proofing begins with a deep understanding of the pests in question. Experienced technicians analyze the behavior, entry points, and habits of rats and mice to tailor a strategy that addresses specific vulnerabilities in a property. This targeted approach sets the stage for effective and lasting results.

Sealing the Fortress:

The cornerstone of pest-proofing is sealing entry points. Exterminate Professional pest control services identify and close gaps, cracks, and openings that pests could exploit to gain access. This meticulous process ensures that the home or business becomes a fortress, impervious to the advances of pests seeking shelter and sustenance.

Customized Solutions:

No two properties are the same, and neither are their pest vulnerabilities. Professional pest-proofing services provide customized solutions based on the unique characteristics of each location. From residential homes to commercial spaces, a tailored approach maximizes the effectiveness of pest-proofing efforts.

Long-Term Savings:

Investing in professional pest-proofing is an investment in long-term savings. While the upfront cost may seem significant, the expenses associated with ongoing pest infestations – from property damage to health risks – far outweigh the initial investment. By creating a pest-resistant environment, homeowners and businesses can avoid the recurring costs of pest control treatments.

Peace of Mind:

Perhaps the most valuable benefit of professional pest-proofing is the peace of mind it brings. Knowing that your home or business is fortified against potential pest invasions allows occupants to focus on their lives without the constant worry of unwelcome visitors disrupting their peace.

In the ongoing battle against pests, Exterminates professional pest-proofing emerges as a proactive and strategic defense.
