A short Saturday morning bit of inspiration for you – two more sneak peeks from the upcoming Feltmakers Ireland’s exhibition, ‘Symbols of Ireland’.

Claire Merry’s inspiration –

“The hare has been one of Ireland’s oldest symbols, dating back to the ancient Celts.
It was seen as a symbol of fertility and prosperity, and was often depicted in Celtic art and mythology.
The Irish Free State commemorated the hare on the first three penny piece coins.”

Irina Lampadova’s inspiration –

“I have decided to make a sheep adorned with shamrocks because these symbols of Ireland appeal to my emotions. They are my first memories of Ireland when I came here years ago. Beautiful and comforting green fields with sheep and cows made me feel welcome. It was a nice beginning of my new journey in life.”
