Celtic inspirations
Trying to pursue what was a sort of new year resolve to blog more frequently I find I'm a bit short of photos. Looking back at my collection I found this Celtic design on a gravestone in the ruined part of the cathedral at Dunkeld, Perthshire. As if I didn't have enough projects mulling around in my brain, I have been doodling Celtic knotwork again lately.
I have this great book by Val Campbell Harding, a great embroiderer who died last year, and Maggie Grey, Celtic Inspirations for Embroiderers. Also found a font recently that I downloaded to my pc which does capital letters with Celtic additions, but can't get it to work here. Will take some photos and post them with details of the font next time.
