New Sea Swimmers

sea swimming irish greeting cards by catherine dunne

 

I’m getting a little obsessed with my sea swimmers!  When I go swimming these days, the sea is usually a dark grey or as James Joyce called it ‘snot green’.  What always strikes me is the colours, especially the women – mainly their bright swimming caps, towels and robes.  The men are interesting too with every attire from long swimming shorts to little speedos!  All of this is in contrast to the backdrop of the sea and often grey skies.  Another thing that I absolutely love about all this, is how we’ve all become less self conscious of our lumps and bumps.  Honestly, sea swimming is good for the soul!

I hope you enjoy the colours.

Irish Christmas Cards 2021

irish christmas cards 2021 by catherine dunne

The illustrations on these Irish Christmas cards come from my children’s book ‘The Christmas Reindeer who saved the World’.  It’s a great, feel good story about children cleaning up the planet from plastic.  The story is good fun and not heavy or preachy.  Anyway, these cards feature some of the book’s illustrations, all hand drawn in pen and watercolour.  They’re eco friendly, designed in Galway and printed in Dublin.  They’ll bring some colour to any Christmas mantlepiece.

Also available ‘as Gaeilge’.

I hope you like them!
