Green Lantern Tapestries
Description: This hand-drawn recreation captures the iconic mural that once adorned the exterior of the Green Lantern Restaurant & Lounge, a legendary watering hole in McCalla, Alabama. Established in the 1920s, the Green Lantern was a roadside staple for nearly a century, welcoming travelers, bikers, and locals with its no-frills atmosphere and Southern hospitality. Recognized as the oldest continuously operating bar in the Birmingham area by 2013, it became a beloved landmark until its closure in December 2023. Whether you were a longtime regular or just passing through, this design pays tribute to the history, character, and good times that made the Green Lantern an unforgettable part of Alabama’s nightlife.
Description: Mummers with a Twist. In Newfoundland, mummering has usually meant, in its most basic form, wearing a costume that disguises your identity and going from house to house, visiting your neighbors. It’s a game of sorts: at each stop, the hosts would try and guess the identity of the mummers. Mummers also have to disguise their faces, and they worked with what was available—an old lace curtain or tablecloth, a pillowcase or flower sack with eyes cut out and, perhaps, a face painted on it. Mummering in Newfoundland is all about reversals—turning the normal world topsy-turvy. Men might dress as women and women as men. Friends dressed in costume became strangers, and the odd creatures that visited in the night were revealed to be close friends.
