The Littlest Obby Oss – Pen Munys – 13th Pressing
This mini print depicts a mast beast obby oss. This one is called PenMunys, or Tiny Head in Cornish. Cornwall, like Wales, also has a tradition around festivities, documented in Cornish Christmas Guise plays of including an obby oss character, constructed as a mast beast with an articulated horses skull on top. The Cornish oss typically has a dress of tatters and appear very often are very tall, dance and run at speed, and are full of mischief. They are accompanied by a teazer who does their best to keep them under control, for everyone’s safety, but anything not nailed down or tightly fastened may find itself a tasty morsel of these beasts.

Brass Golden Necklace Pendant – All Seeing – Sluagh
This pendant is hand made with one of my original designs on a recycled brass disk, each one unique.
This is inspired by the Sluagh na marbh (‘Host of the dead’ in Irish) which fly from the west in ‘the mouth of night’, seeking souls to steal, so always keep your western windows and doors locked at night.
I’ve been lately inspired by textures of historic jewellery, I like to imagine these are old coins dug up from a remote meadow, paired with contemporary design.
