A late saturday morning in Monmouth Manufacturing.
Warm and cozy, Gansey gets to shamelessly infodump about dead Welsh Kings.
Yes, Blue absolutely selected the fabric and made those pillowcases herself.

Lucy Walter, early mistress of Charles II while in exile on the continent and mother of his first son James, Duke of Monmouth.
I haven't sat down and seriously done art in months so overall I'm pleased with how she's turned out

I love imagined places. The island of Avalon, of Arthurian legend, is ripe with magic & lore. The chronicler, Geoffrey of Monmouth, wrote in 1136 that it was the island where King Arthur’s sword, Excalibur, was forged, & where his body was taken after battle. 🗡#FolkloreThursday

"Sergeant Molly Pitcher" aka Mary Hays followed her husband to the Continental Army like many women. At the Battle of Monmouth her husband collapsed from exhaustion (despite myth that he died) and she took his place loading cannons, earning an honorary position.

June 28th, 1778, Battle of Monmouth, and the legend of Molly Pitcher. A sweltering day, more British troops were killed by heat stroke than musket fire as Mary Ludwig (Molly Pitcher) was on the pitch, running pitchers of refreshing water to thirsty Continental troops.

Folklore of the roan/rowan tree from an 1859 book owned by Alfred Cheesman. He notes he saw it used (probably!) for witchcraft protection at Monmouth in 1894.

Hello again.
I found Lynda Jones work this morning whilst researching someone else. Monmouth is her home and she has good qualifications in Visual Art from the University of Wales. Lovely painting.
