Lá Fhéile Pádraig


Happy St Patrick's Day everyone - I hope you all can take time out to enjoy the celebrations.


This week's Gothic Arch Challenge was All Things Celtic and I felt I had to at least try to make something for it. This is a very quick effort, the image is one from the Book of Kells with various celtic stamps used around the edges with some copper foil, mesh and wire.


Enjoy your day.

    Very old world Celtic with the elongated arch, colors, designs, image and addition of metals. Aye, the Kelts would be 'appy!
    Creatively Yours, Laura
