... Nora Barnacle is here to make you walk the plank at the Swashbuckler's Soiree!! This event was the brainchild of the lovely Donna O'Brien (you can find her blog by clicking the link above...)
I joined the Soiree quite late, but here is my offering, Nora Barnacle. She is named after James Joyce's wife, who was not -as far as I know- a pirate but with a name like that she should have been!
Rumour has it that Nora purchases her head scarves at the same high-seas establishment as Jack Sparrow...
But the embellishments on her skirt are pure Nora...she goes diving for starfish, snails and sand dollars and of course sews all her own clothes!
And of course no self-respecting pirate would go out without a de-rigeur pair of striped stockings! But the seas are a dangerous place for even the fiercest pirates, so Noraa carries a wee sword (which she was unable to photograph clearly - heads at the Canon camera factory will roll! Into the ocean!)
Argh, mateys! I'm running out of pirate talk, so I'm going to try to talk Nora into holstering that bad boy long enough to check all you other swashbucklers...
