Ok, thanks. Sending art is not for me then 🌳🌳🌳

This looks great. Please tell me if it's a paid opportunity? Also, with visual art, should you accept a painting for inclusion, will you cover delivery costs to get work returned to the artist? Also, do you take commission on sales?

Thanks for sharing my art, @deadcant.bsky.social

Frogspawn distracted me from painting trees: it wasn’t a giant leap! As a child, I loved exploring the overgrown orchard and the derelict glasshouse next to my family home. We lived beside a farmhouse that was originally part of a huge estate with a palladian mansio…

Lengths of yarn made from plastic netting hang on a door. A chart of whales and dolphins is on the door.

Green nets and white plastic netting. Text reads www. Kathryn M Crowley. com

Still figuring out ways to use netting as an art material. The texture creeps me out.These nets are made from plastic. Supermarket chains are still using netting to sell fruit and vegetables. I wonder who'll be the first food seller / retailer in Ireland to ban this stuff? #microplastics #art

The insanity is endless. Use it or lose it, people. Your brain matters.

Looking forward to it.

Thanks

Petals, poetry, and Irish history Colonialism, roses, and Irish history.

What has dipping a stick in ink and roses got to do with colonial oppression? Art-making led to a haiku, then my mind wanted to explore some history: kathrynmcrowley.com/2025/02/24/r... #poetry #poems #colonialism #Ireland #roses #creativeprocesss #selfexpression #musichistory #socialhistory

Fibromyalgia recovery stories are in short supply: I have one to share. An update about my book in progress.

Hello, the online MECFS & LongCOVID Action Forum on October 30th will be 4am Irish time, so I can't attend. I'd love to listen back. Will audio be recorded that I could access later, please? I'm editing a book about fibromyalgia. kathrynmcrowley.com/2025/09/15/f...

Hello, I can't read the text on the flyer, and wonder will this be shown online too?

You meant well, no problem! :)
