More cool stuff from the wall of the Mechanics' Institute in Limerick. It's amazing how long some of these orgs have been around:
A stone bas-relief with the emblem of the Mechanics' Imstitute, founded in 1810. The central symbol is an arm wielding a mallet, and over it is a horseshoe-shaped banner saying "Mechanics' Institute." Anove this is another banner that says "LABOR OMNIA VINCET." A heraldic bas-relief plaque for the Ancient Guild of Incorporated Brick and Stone Layers of Limerick, established in 1677. In the centre, a man in a white tunic and a golden dragon stand on either side of a shield emblazoned with the tools of stonemasonry (hammers, compasses, adze etc). The background is green and the whole lot is flanked with images of castles, pillars, lighthouses etc. A heraldic bas-relief plaque for the Regular Operative Plasterers' Society, established in 1670. In the centre, two golden gryphons stand on either side of a shield emblazoned with a hammer and trowel. The background is green, and underneath, a banner reads "Brotherly Love Continued." A heraldic bas-relief plaque for the Ancient Guild of Irish National Painters and Decorators, established in 1670. In the centre, a man in a mauve tunic and a golden unicorn stand on either side of a shield emblazoned with indistinct symbols that I presume are painters' pallets. The background is green, and there's a scrolling banner underneath that says "Love, Honour, Obedience."

4.5 inches is ideal. Any longer and they become unwieldy or get snagged. I ground down a pointing trowel when I shifted from stonemasonry to archaeology. Used it for about 9 years 🙂

Pajama party and a night of theorizing about fifth astral era magicks with @fiasunday.bsky.social 's Maladia. They are very fun I love them!

#gposers #gpose #maladia #RebelRaconteur #LorePoses
Tomes is seen smoking a cigarette and bringing a tray of cookies to Maladia, who is sitting down reading a book while also smoking her own cig. Maladia says: "... So stonemasonry became a common profession in Amdapor. They made these impassionate slabs of stone strong enough to contend with Voidsent: which come duplicitous, and erratic." Tomes leaves the tray on the desk to the side and leans over Maladia's chair to look into the book she's showing them. Maladia says: "Look. They seem so simple... and yet devastating enough. How did they know what to do? From what did they take inspiration? Get closer, here's a spot for you, Tomes." Tomes is now sat down in the same chair as Maladia, side to side. They are now holding the same book together one hand each. The smoke from their cigarettes join up in the closeness. Tomes says: "Well... An artist is rarely without their muse. And, oh, how they love talking about their muses... A summoning? a creature of the wild? One of these stonemasons must have left evidence of their muse."
