Art in Ireland. July 2026

I realised that when I went to Japan, I forgot to take any art materials. I like to start off every day doing something creative how silly or simplistic it is. I like to make 3 or 5 or 7 similar but slightly different pieces.

Washi tape with cats

I am not sure where I bought the washi tape. But I didn’t have any scissors so had to tear it and wrap it round to the back. It is pretty transparent so you can see the colours behind. 21 July 26.

Lines around a slate piece from the beach

I found some lovely pieces of flat slate on the beach. I drew around them and then around them with more lines using different colours or the same pen with water smudging. 22 July 26.

1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 cats with different borders

I bought the googly eyes (thanks Galina) and adhesive sticky lilac/purple lace in a craft shop in Skibbereen. Now I had scissors I had a whale of a time! 24 July 26.

Tea bags, googly eyes, cat washi tape and paints

If you really want you can open the bag and have a cup of tea. Just make sure you replace the packet. That is why they are all sewn in with wool using a tapestry needle. 25 July 26.
