Irish Tiagh

[dr tom]

Hi Y'all:

Long time lurker, first posting (hope the photos come thru).

Recent project:

One might call it a "messenger bag", but it's a "tiagh," used for storing and carrying important books. My design is loosely derived from an 8th - 10th century (?) tiagh in the Irish National Museum called the "Satchel of the Breac Moidoig."

Very interesting "tiagh". If you could re-size your photos to about 800x600 pixels it would be easier to see. I re-size mine using the paint program on my computer.

Hi dr tom,

I like your tiagh. Love the 'Old' look stain job. I'd like to see more of your work so please post. It IS St. Patricks day, so a good excuse to show your stuff.

Here's one I made for my son. Hope you like it.

Nice. Are those Newgrange spirals?

Yes they are. My son took me to Ireland and showed me. He's really into Irish history, tradition and Galic. He even had the scrolls tatoo'd on his back!
