[Image Description: Digital art in of a wooden Welsh love spoon featuring two original characters, Draig and Myrddin, in profile facing one another with their hands interlocked and closed eyes. They are placed on top of a celtic knot ring. Draig is on the left and Myrddin on the right.

Draig is a white teenage boy with short to mid-length, tousled hair and thick eye brows. He has pointed ears, horns on his head and a long tail with spikes and a sharp, triangular tip, wrapped around him and Myrddin covering the bottom of the circle. He wears an open varsity jacket with rolled up sleeves and a shirt underneath. Myrddin is a Black teenage boy with a medium, coily Afro and thin eye brows. He wears a long, flowing, open short sleeved jacket with a long sleeved shirt underneath.

Above the characters at the top of the love spoon is a large heart. The neck of the spoon below the characters is made up of a late cal tic knot which transitions into the bowl of the spoon. End Description]

A Welsh love spoon featuring my oc’s, Draig the dragon boy and Myrddin the mage.

I started this about two years ago but didn’t get around to finishing it until recently 😅

Happy St David's Day to England's overlooked neighbour, and you cannot disagree with me that dinosaurs are dragons. The Chinese word for dinosaur literally means 'terror' dragon.

Dydd Santes Dwynwen Hapus! Happy Saint Dwynwen Day! The 25th January is the St Dwynwen's - the Welsh St Valentines! St Dwynwen is the Welsh patron saint of love, a fifth century Welsh Princess who prayed that God would meet the hopes and dreams of all true lovers. She founded a convent on Ynys Llanddwyn off the west coast of Ynys Môn (Anglesey), where she remained until her death in 465AD. The island became a site of pilgrimage with visitors believing that the sacred fish or eels living in the well there could foretell the fate of their relationships. Steve and I love walking to this romantic island at low tide, and I painted this picture of this beautiful place, which sold on X (formerly Twitter) within days, to a mother buying it for her daughter's house warming gift. But prints and other items featuring this art (without the words) are still available at:

with 25% off at the moment. Is there someone you'd buy a Toblerone for bearing the words "Caru Ti" or "Love You" in Welsh...? Thanks! Diolch! Sam aka LymphomaLass xx

What do you recommend I do for St Dwynwyn this year?

Last year was great. I ran away from England (aka made an impromptu trip to my parents and sent emails saying I was sick). Took my family cat to the vets. And won a copy of the original Mae hen Wlad fy Nhadau at a welsh language pub quiz. How do I top that?

that sounds like an excellent dydd santes dwynwen! there's only one way to top this. travel to dinas emrys. find y ddraig goch (tell her i sent you). ask about her new range of scented candles. buy the gingerbread one. support a small local business.
