My fibromyalgia book is slowly coming together, yippee! It has taken 3 years to get this far. If you'd like to read an excerpt, please get in touch via my website. Here's some background info: kathrynmcrowley.com/2025/09/15/f... #invisibledisability #fibromyalgia #mentalhealth #selfcare #writing🥗🧪🫁📝

Thanks to everyone who sent me more nets! The upcycling continues. I'm reusing plastic nets that are (still, sadly) found on fruit and vegetables. I'm also reading /learning about micro plastics and neuroscience. Read more here: kathrynmcrowley.com/2025/07/10/f... #plastic #oceans #upcycling ♻️🧪🍂#art

Samhain is approaching, and I was thinking about the celtic wheel on the beach as I gathered materials the other day. A little apple came in on a wave, which was a lovely surprise.

'Uisce', instigated by @erikahanna.bsky.social, was a great triad! I enjoyed a talk on the historical impact of rain in #Ireland and much more besides today (Erika Hanna), foklore and history snippets (Tom Dillon) and a biodiversity walk by the river Feale (Barry O'Donoghue). #history #biodiversity

Fibromyalgia is tough to endure. It affects women more than men, and I've set up Fibro Wise Women to offer information and tips. The website and Facebook group are free to access. The site will be updated again on October 21st, 2025. Here's the link: fibrowisewomen.com 🧪 #fibromyalgia #health #women

After being on the road, it's lovely to rest up and read for a few days. I'm editing my own book too, and pondering titles.
'Fibromyalgia: a journey to recovery'? Boring. 'Fibromyalgia. A pain in the f#cking arse' isn't quite right either, but I'm getting closer. #writing #fibromyalgia🖋️🧪 #health

An update about my Foinse project. It's all about water, and upcycling packaging that would otherwise cause more plastic to enter the sea. Here's a short blog post: kathrynmcrowley.com/2025/09/30/u... #microplastics #oceans #water #conservation #upcycling #visualart #Ireland #environment 🌊🐟 ♻️

Sunset bliss on the Blackwater.

Such beauty in Fermoy! I enjoyed the sights and sounds all around before taking a photo.
Rivulets of sadness and anger also moved through me.

In August, a chemical spill killed up to 32,000 fish. Who poisoned the river?

No A.I. or digital drawing tools here. I painted the page, now it's time to add a whale.
This one will be an orca, aka killer whale. The orca is actually a dolphin.
What fecker decided to call it a killer just for having a big appetite? Sure thousands of sea creatures kill to feed. #whales 🌊🐋 #art

Walk in memory of the children of Gaza. Keeping Palestine in our hearts and minds. With all respect to the person who designed the flyer, the children of Gaza were murdered, not killed. Obliterated. Victims of genocide. #Palestine #Tralee #Kerry

HOPE.

It's possible to feel horror and upset while also appreciating beauty and taking action.

I took this photo in Tralee, Ireland.

It's been an enjoyable Lughnasadh; writing in good company, time on the beach, and a willow workshop. I love the little fish that I made.

PS: no genius weaving here: the basket in the photo is one that I bought years ago! #willow #Lughnasadh #naturalmaterils #fish #Ireland

Thanks to everyone who has posted me nets for my art project. Let's keep this stuff out of the sea, and out of landfill. I'm sharing art gifts in exchange through monthly raffles, and will collect nets until May 2026.

Painting over one of my creations from 20 years ago. I've been having fun, and it's at the final stage now. The easel is outside: I love days like this, painting in the sun.
