Holiday

Celtic Ireland


Last August we went to Ireland for a week - here is one of the layouts from the Dunbrody Famine Ship.

The ships is in New Ross in the South of Ireland (Waterford) and visitors are taken on board to hear from 'passengers' about their journey on a ship to escape the Potato Famine of the 1840's. The boat is accessible for wheelchair users and the only place you can't see into are the very end cabins of the ship (unless you can be lifted over a ridge about 4-6 inches high).

About this page.

Visitors are give a 'ticket' to go on board which I 'aged' using chalks and ink. I scratched the edges of the matt photographs and inked them with a sepia stain which made a good wood effect.

As well as our photographs I also cut out pictures from the tourist leaflet to add to the information and the 12x12 paper is a celtic knot background.
