#MariLywd for this years #pottery painting πβ€οΈ (I'd love to make this a tradition)
Only one side, I took so long trying to do her justice that I ran out of time for the other. Just praying to the kiln gods now π
Wick is a bean. Iβve always wanted him to have a spooky silhouette and could never figure it out but it was staring me in the face the whole time! #webtooncanvas #forgetmenotcomic #marilywd

A horse scull decorated with ribbon and bells & perched on a stick covered with a sheet. Someone walks around holding the stick and snapping the jaws and asking riddles. Welsh tradition.

This has been 2 years in a row, just before New Year's--looks like a tradition I'll happily attend every year.

Ornament of Mari Lwyd (horse skull with dress) being held aloft in front of an assortment of gargoyle statues, books, and moody lighting.
We bought the best ornament today! (From Gargoyles in Seattle, the best shop ever.) #marilywd
MARI LYWD A skeleton horse atop a sack cloth, this figure is wonderfully gothic. It accompanies groups of wassail singers as they travel door-to-door. One of the wassailers 'debates' to win entry and some edible treats!
