This weekend just gone, I attended the Tarago Medieval Fair. I wasn't selling, I was part of a display.

I wore my new Birka set of beads with a simple linen outfit. Displays I made over a year ago finially got their time in the sun along with framed glass work recently entered into competitions.

A photographer visiting the festival captured this image of me. It's such a character look. Bwhahaha

I will be at the Abbey Medieval Festival this year. I will have a few new offerings and some things that have simply run out before getting there.
I also have restocked on my very popular brass pins, and, nålbinding beanies in new, exciting colour combinations.

I get a huge buzz out of meeting so many wonderful people. I'm so looking forward to being back and part of the fun.

Over the years I've been making these pins they've been insanely popular. (Well over 1000 to date).
They date as far back as 1-4th century Romano-British and continue from there.

Oonaghs Own: Pins - Glass Head Romano-British Pins https://share.google/d3omgDlnUfFLWQPdB

I hand shape and polish all my pin points to glide effortlessly through fine fabrics without snagging. Overall length is 7-8 cm and a 1mm brass pin.

All the glass colours are historically accurate depending on your time and place.

If you were looking forward to making some of these a part of your kit, you can contact me to order.

Thank you to everyone who have shown such enthusiasm for my Galloway Hoard inspired glass. I am almost out of stock. I have a couple of the blue and I think 1 of the the green left.
Contact me if you want to make my numbers even less.

Did you know I have a Blog? I do. A lot of it is lacking in images as it is my Venetian stuff. Internet gremlins have eaten them. One day, I will get around to fixing those.

Moving forward, I am going to post other research.

I have posted my paper on Romano-British Glass Head Pins.

https://oonaghsown.blogspot.com/2026/03/pins-glass-head-romano-british-pins.html

I put forward 7 entries to the Lochac Autumn Crown Arts and Sciences competition. I will be writing more research and sharing it over the following weeks and months.
This is the start.

Inspired by Birka 1084 (the image printed), with a few adjustments for budget reasons. I have included the 7 pendant from this burial (placementof yhe pendants is conjecture, inclusionis not).

Looking for the right types of glass has resulted in some layering of different glass to get as close as possible to the desired effect.

I will have one for sale, that includes the pendants.
