This project was part of the Craft Village - organized and supported by The Crafts Council of Ireland.






Unfortunately my blog here doesn't 'want to' display it yet as a slideshow - if anyone has a good suggestion how to overcome this problem please let me know!

So I'm sorry that it is yet another link to follow but it's worth a look!!
