Copper or bronze is hard to march and u also tried to make it look used and grubby. A work in progress I guess?

I’ve seen that we are attempting to revive the old Belfast Corporation street signs - let’s do it!

I make my own (inferior) replicas using slate and acrylic- but these are beautiful examples of our heritage!

The ancient Irish ogham alphabet is beautiful and I want to reclaim it, and use creative license to make art!

If you saw a piece of art in an easily accessible public space, and you liked it, would you take it?

I dropped off a piece of art in Dublin last week and I’ve done the same in Monasterboice, Belfast, Antrim, Ballymena and Aldergrove. It’s just art that I’ve taken pleasure in making, like wands, swords, carved slate or wood slabs with ogham usually. I leave them in places people are likely to see them and take it if they want. Would you? It occurred to me that it would take some confidence to lift something you weren’t sure was for you? All the art seems to be gone, and if I’m honest i was hoping there would be some contact on social media- but its all good either way!

I was in Dublin on Wednesday last week and I did an art treasure hunt- does anyone know who found it?

I make ogham art and other products and I left a piece of art at the statues near the Happeny Bridge. Does anyone know who got it? Just curious!

I’m pretty lonely

I’m married and generally have a good life. I’m just lonely- but here’s the rub- I don’t want to interact with people. It’s painful as an autistic person to develop enough of a rapport to become friends- I usually rely on the other half doing it and I’ll just tag along.

It’s been highlighted more now since we have had some stuff going on, and nobody in NI to relax with or get help from. Nobody to share successes and wins with either. Nobody to be friend with.

I’m just destined to be a lonely little turd in the bowl of life. But onward and upward- there’s always Netflix or BBC iPlayer for Casualty on a Saturday Night!

I found this in Luxor, at Karnak, near the Rams. I don’t know what it is or if it’s significant!

I left it in situ!

Does anyone want to commission and buy my handmade wooden swords?

I have to move house soon, and I have lots of wood I need to get rid of, and I love making swords. Based in the UK. Let me know!

For those of you who have faced allegations, what happened?

Based in UK. Currently facing an allegation which I’m due to be interviewed by the police for next week.

I’m certain of my innocence, as I’m sure everyone says. The child in question is kinship and has a genetic issue, global delay and ASD, as well as a penchant for fantasy, all of which is well documented.

What happened in your situation? Did the children come back? I’m desperately missing both foster kids who were removed ‘temporarily’, since we had them from birth. My biological son has remained as the social workers found no basis to intervene.

My life has been on hold for four months and I just literally want to be cleared and get the kids back on track. I’m sure they are so messed up by this!
