The lockdown is a difficult time for all. Artists have been using this isolation for creating, working with no distractions, sharing their talent online and in new and interesting ways. Us? We've really upped our GIF game on the WhatsApp group chat. 👍

🌟CUSTARD CREAMS🌟 As promised, here is @autumnrosewell's recipe for Custard Creams. Her *actual* recipe book looks like this, so we've retyped it (minus hedgehog doodles) into the thread below! 👇🏽

Bored now.

@OliveGroov Imagine self isolating there. "just leave ones scones (that RHYMES) in the East wing, one will be along shortly to eat it".

..Once this is all over - to give the independents back some of the trade that they have had to miss 💚☘️

We were saving this photo for what’s usually one of the best days of the year in our city, one of the busiest days for our small businesses & a day that has an incredible atmosphere It goes without saying that many people are gutted that St Patrick’s day had to be cancelled. 1/3

@OliveGroov Thanks! If we ever get around to having a track to share, you'll be the first to know. 😊

OMG Abby, that was class. @OliveGroov

@OliveGroov I like the idea that you've enough projects on that you needed me to be specific! This week I've made a cake.

@OliveGroov Radio Covid!

I'm happy to make a Twitter list of local artists!

There's so much quality art in Inishowen and Donegal, but if you want it to still be available to you when all this blows over, consider supporting it now. (We don't have anything to sell, I'm just thinking aloud!)

Everyone feels the squeeze at times like this; self employed artists certainly do. If there's no gig, art class, theatre show, street parade, etc, then we/they can't send in an invoice. Saving money sat in? Support your local artist by buying their art online.

What terrible timing! 😮😮😮 We, The Bearded Ladies, had just finalised the details of our support slot with @AvrilLavigne on her world tour, but the promoter has cancelled because of #COVIDー19. We're gutted, but everyone got to stay safe. God bless.

@smurf_sinead @PaulAnthonyWard I'm delighted so many people are liking and sharing this. Clearly it needs to be highlighted more if so many people are only hearing of it for the first time from me. Here are two posters from the campaign in Waterford. vfipubs.ie/news/latest-ne… #AskForAngela

We had the best night! Played to six wonderful, kind, attentive and interesting people, and I really hope we get invited back. 🍷

Hope that's that cleared up.

Abby's ma can still come.

What he said.
