Good morning and happy #Wednesday. 😊

A good few years ago, I enrolled on a #pottery course and this is the first thing I made. 😊🌿🌿🌿

Wall plaque pf a green man. Slightly whacky colours but it sort of works. 😊

A striking green man: just one piece of the extraordinary carving to be found on the famous (but little) Norman church at Kilpeck in #Herefordshire. There is also a dragon below right. #greenman #pagan #paganism #dragon #church #medieval #medievalsky

Folklore's Green Man has long fascinated me, as a gardener/landscape architect, but also since I read a book connecting him to Santa Claus (??)

This story was my chance to write about the Green Man and coyotes, in a race between invasive and native plants.

Plus coyotes as icons of resilience

Love this Green Man style mask on the keystone of an arched window on 11 Renfield Street in Glasgow. This building was originally built in 1858, but was altered in the 1890s and I presume the mask was added at this time.

Green man face in the low autumn sun. Taken in my late parents’ garden today. Not that long until the house is sold and it won’t be their garden anymore. The green man is coming home with me. Face is actually going green with the luttkk looks bits of moss on it. #greenman #autumn #Mosstodon

Close on a terracotta green man face on a tree.  Worn with age and sun and with some moss growing on it.

To start the week, a smiley Green Man (or rather yellow) I found at Abbey Dore in #Herefordshire. The abbey dates back to the 12th Century but was expanded a century later. The Green Man perhaps therefore dates from the 13th Century. #GreenMan #pagan #PreChristian #church #medieval #medievalsky

Beautifully sculpted green men on the obelisk sundial in King's Park on the Southside of Glasgow. This is one of three Victorian replicas of the 1635 Mannerist sundial at Newbattle Abbey House in Midlothian.

Here’s my latest the #GreenMan wall sculpture, fresh out of the kiln at The Chicken Run Studio, #Eynsham, #Oxfordshire.

I’ll add wires & then he’ll be ready to hang in somebody’s garden somewhere. Yours, perhaps?

Thanks 🙏 to my chum Alison for the technical assistance, the laughs, and the yummy apple cake.

New pendant I've made. Miniature green man, hand carved in boxwood. The face is only 2.6 cm tall.

A very small carving of a green man, a face covered in leaves, seemingly growing from it. The wood is a golden yellow wood colour. It rests on the very tips of two fingers, with a grey slate background.

What to do on a miserable day? Hang out with a chum in her #homepotterystudio. While I glaze my new #GreenMan sculpture, Alison paints her goldfinches.

I pray that the #KilnGods will be kind...🙏

Because writing projects evolve as you go, I give you a zombie story about gardening, or a gardening story about zombies.

With a dash of #resist thrown in, as with everything.

Don't say you weren't warned.

Owain, or the Countess of the Fountain is Tyrell-coded as hell.

A sacred fountain that summons storms

A surreal forest kingdom ruled by a powerful widow

A lion companion born of compassion

Madness in the wild as redemption

It’s Pan + Lady of the Lake + emotional damage.
The forest heals, the court forgets.

Also: The Green Knight (A24) is a 5/5 film. Fight me about it.

Two green men I've spotted on my trips round North Wales and the Borders. The first is almost hidden from view in Gresford Church, Wrexham, the other stares cheerfully down on the visitor in the church at Llangadwaladr on Anglesey. #GreenMan #GreenMen #pagan #medieval #medievalsky #churches
