The Celtic suff

 By "Celtic", by and large I mean Irish or Irish inspired, unless otherwise noted.

I people love these crosses and I've had more than one customer buy one after traveling to Ireland.  Which baffled me, until I too went there.  Then the reality of luggage limits hit you.  Every trip I'm mailing myself back books and sundry things a couple days before my flight; it is usually cheaper than buying more luggage space.  Shipping back pottery or stone would be a nightmare.

Mar sin e...


I made a series inspired by the Book of Kells.  Which sounds exciting until one encounters all the people who love Celtic/Irish things but have never heard of the Book of Kells.  I ndáiríre? So here I am all pleased with myself I can make knots freehand without tracing or copying, while the customer nods, blankly.  As long as they sell....
