I thought maybe we needed a break from so many florals, so to get away from them for a while I'm posting some recent work - a few letters from a Celtic alphabet. I do like designing alphabets - they're more interesting than plain monograms - and I've done several in the past. But I don't do many because it's such a lot of work drawing and digitising 26 different designs, and even when you're finished, not all the letters are going to be useful. But all the same they're fun to do
So here is the beginning of a Celtic alphabet - or maybe I should say an alphabet in the Celtic style, because these aren't genuine Celtic designs - they're just my take on the general style
The beginnings of a Celtic alphabet
As to how to use them - well, the only thing that occurs to me is perhaps to embroider a name or a line of verse on a pillow of some sort. I'm not sure if I'd have the energy to do that but I might give it a try sometime
