Artworks carved from feathers by the scalpel of artist Chris Maynard, who sez of them:
Each feather, though dead and discarded, keeps something of the bird’s essence. Since I work mostly with shed feathers, some of the birds that grew them are likely still living.

An interesting symbol outside the church of St. Agatha near the 5 lamps in Dublin.
ن (the Arabic letter for “N”) is used in ISIL controlled parts of Iraq/Syria. Christian property is marked with an “N”, or ن , it is the first letter of the Arabic word for Christian, “Nasrani” or “Nazarene”. It has being documented that property is often seized after some time. In many western countries the symbol is used to show solidarity with Iraqi Christians.
MORE to folly.

Anyway, I’m joining Sinn Fein now. If they’ll have me. Just as a regular punter who wants to learn and contribute with whatever strengths I might have or learn. I’d like to see a proper socialist Ireland. I’d like to be educated as to how ordinary people like me can help bring about the changes which would make every child equally cherished and make everyone have equal rights. I realised the best way to revolt is vote. And the only vote that’s gonna give anyone a chance of bringing to fruition paragraphs three and four of the Proclamation of 1916 is Sinn Fein, because no other party at the moment is going to honour that Proclamation. If they were inclined to honour it they’d just hand over and say let’s have an election. “
