There are felted scarfs and the fabulous felt-hats. All 100% wool, some with integrated lace.
For the children you find a full page illustrated book about fairies. As a thank you for sticking your head in the door, I have a present for you: There is a printable version of the celtic shaman art “Dragon” easy to download completely for free.
While you are there, you might want to have a look at all the updates on my official website as well. In the visual art section, you’ll find two films of work before the year 2000. There is a first entry into the projects with documentation from the “Search for the divine female project” and some quotes in the text section. Cata Isle Mime Theatre updates under mime with easy to download brochure, the Irish Times front page and more photos featuring the solo show premiere in Temple Bar.
I like to give a big thank you to my indoorwebdesigner from Artvaark-design, Kilrush, who made all this possible.

“The coast in a bucket” is the name of the upcoming show CATA ISLE MIME Theatre will be putting on in Kilkee. In early 2009 Astrid Adler was supported by the Arts Council to found CATA ISLE MIME Theatre.The group welcomes their new member Emer O’Carroll to their upcoming summer show in Kilkee community centre. Emer O’Carroll recently completed two years of Lecoq training in Paris and Barcelona. Mime is talking without words, expressing yourself with your whole body which constantly expresses our emotions and feelings; the language everyone understands. With Marcel Marceau developed techniques mimes brings fantasy and imagination to life. Because the body gives the picture inside a form it turns into reality,-for yourself and everybody watching. After producing a specially tailored show for Ennis Street Festival, this show depicts scenes of life at and around the coast. Using the universal language of the body, everyday scenes and stories are enacted with absurdities and unexpected solutions. All ages are welcome on Sunday 29th of August in Kilkee Community Centre at 4pm.

The farmer, I get my weekly milk of, needed an ugly wall painted, because he had visitors coming the next day. The only wall not hiding a stone wall turned into a stone wall in 3 hours with my brushes and paint.
natural stone painted
This photo was send to me by Brenda Malloy taken in Venice. Looks like the perfect place for an emergency artist to exhibit!
May 26, 2010 - Posted by Astrid Adler- Comments Off on Art Exhibition: “No Style”
Astrid Adler is showing the Art-Exhibition: ”NO STYLE” during the Doonbeg Jazz Festival
The artist put this exhibition together to show the diversity of her work. Exploring abstract ancient symbols with charcoal and chalk on big tinted papers creating the look of stone, than, catapulting Celtic Art full colour into the 21st Century, where its construction takes completely different rules; you find Materialism still confused with Surrealism, Andre Breton still discussing with Salvador Dali if he is one, over Illustrations of local fairy tails to some study in pastels of the Stanley range, coming home to prints in Outsider Art “Scattery Island” and old favorite “The Weddingcross”.
Openings hours are: Friday 8-10pm, Saturday 2-5pm and Monday 2-3pm. Artist will be present. Venue: Strandcamping Doonbeg.
October 6, 2009 - Posted by Astrid Adler- Comments Off on The Weddingcross
The upper part of the cross shows
The seasons to live through
At the bottom the bare winter sun
To the left the unwinding spring sun
At the top the powerful summer sun
To the right the dying off
autumn sun
The first image on the stem of the cross shows two persons holding hands and running over the summit of a mountain
The only way to go in the same time. Not one first and the other following
But if one lets go, both will fall.
The butterfly stands for the being in love, keep seeing the magic, the unknown in the other
Ying and Yang
The moon stands for intuition,
Sharing and similarity
On the contrary to the sun meaning individualism
Under the moon two people holding their heart
At their feet the Celtic tree of life
We grow quicker in honest, loving relationships
All of it resting on the Old Turtle
Who carries the world
Surrounded by the tamed dragon to
protect her
