The Story of Irish Blessings
My young friend, Helen Anne Gately, gave me reference material on The Ballinasloe Water Valve Cover located on a sidewalk near her Father’s hometown in Ireland.  Not only did it feature a handsome Celtic Pattern, but it also had the Gaelic Word for Water, “Uisce”.

  ” The Bell System”
an embossed print on hand made paper.

About the Bell System

The familiar Telephone Manhole Cover can be seen in cities all over the United States.  Its unique pattern of interlocking hexagons and triangles sets it apart from ordinary circular manhole covers.

 The artist has also incorporated sections of the design in works including “The Bell System” an embossed print on hand made paper, “Blue Bell”, an 18” x 24” embossed image on hand made paper.  She adapted the theme  “We Are All Connected” in her traced monotypes and works on canvas.
