Today is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. For all of our years, folk have marked this moment as a celebration of light, abundance, and the life-giving power of the sun. It’s a reminder to pause and appreciate what is flourishing in our lives and around us. Nature is always teaching us about cycles, change, and renewal. Wishing you a joyful Midsummer. . . . . . #flotsam_fables #flotsam_fables_art #summersolstice #midsummer

I’ve been inspired by the Inuit goddess Sedna recently, the powerful sea spirit who, according to legend, became the mother of all marine animals.

Here I am experimenting with a homemade paper clay that I made recently. I’ve never worked with this technique before, so this piece feels very much like an exploration, part making, part discovery.

I love that creative practice often asks us to venture into unfamiliar waters. Sometimes the most interesting ideas emerge when we’re willing to let go of certainty and simply follow our curiosity.

I’m looking forward to seeing where Sedna leads me.

Do you ever go away on your own?

I try to at least once a year and did so recently. I found it harder than usual.

I stayed in a remote cottage with very few distractions and limited facilities. Being alone with my thoughts and feelings felt challenging at times. It brought back memories of the long summers I spent with my dad in rural Ireland as a child.

I appreciated the chance to slow down. Although I often find the noise of modern life overwhelming, I was surprised by how disconcerting the silence felt. No distant traffic, no neighbours chatting, no signs of human activity. Just birdsong, wind, and the creaks and whispers of an old house.

It reminded me that solitude and stillness aren’t always easy. Sometimes they ask us to sit with parts of ourselves we’d rather keep busy.

And yet, somewhere in that quiet, I found something I needed.

I feel honoured to have three of my dolls Melangell, Firtha and Iluka featured in Art Dolls Magazine’s celebration of World Doll Day 2026, held today, 13th of June 2026.

Created to mark the 40th Anniversary of World Doll Day, this special showcase brings together favourite dolls from artists around the world, and I am thrilled to see my work included.

Each doll carries its own story, character and spirit, with their names evoking threads of myth, language and folklore that subtly inform their identities and presence.

Thank you to Art Dolls Magazine for featuring them alongside so many wonderful creations.
