Dearg Due - Spooky Irish Halloween Creatures: The Vampire Feature

This blog post tells the story of Dearg Due one of Ireland’s first vampires.

Belated lá fhéile Pádraig faoi mhaise duit! ❤️☘️ An bhfuil sibh ag baint taitneamh as an lá saoire bainc / Are you enjoying the bank holiday?? Well this madra uisce / otter certainly is! I drew this custom order about a month ago and i’m so glad to share it today, a day where everyone should be relaxing! I did plan on having a ‘nathair / snake’ done for yesterday but it was one of those drawings that just didn’t work no matter what I did! 🙈 And sure I’ve a year now to work on it!! 👍😁 . . .

Ruafholtach, red-haired. I drew this illustration a few years ago but even then I was getting into the curvilinear swirls and curls which you can see in the hair. I made this 3 colour screen print of the drawing about a year and a half ago on a screen printing course with @damnfineprint in Dublin, they are amazing go do their courses!! It dawned on me yesterday that this is the most ruafholtach drawing i’ve ever made! So this is to celebrate all the red heads out there...and red head wannabe’s like me 😍☘️❤️ .
Print available via Etsy, link in my bio ❤️ . .

Sabhaircín! / Primrose! I did some research into this plant and it has some interesting traditions, mostly to do with fairies, check this out,
'Guard the house with a string of primroses on the first three days of May. The fairies are said not to be able to pass over or under this string.'

Sneaking in there! Nearly 11pm oops! I'm continuing on with some more spring flowers and today's is plúirín sneachta / snow drop! I started this and quickly realised, snowdrops are the colour of snow 🤣 so I added some hints of green so they would stand out, I think they look ok!
I will do a proper Insta story about this tomorrow but I am the guest twitter...person on the @motherfocloir account this week!! 🤯🎉🤩🤩🎉❤️☘️!! Mind sufficiently blown! If you are on twitter and fancy having a chat there come on over and say hi! The @motherfocloir crowd are fantastic and a brilliant environment to enjoy and learn more Irish! . . .
