Celtic Summer

Intricate celtic motifs worked in summer shades and accented with matching beads form the frame which stands behind this elegant emissary of summer. Her hair, sun kissed with honey highlights, is adorned with bright flowers picked from her summer meadow and carried home in a carefully woven basket. Metallics, formed at the hem of her dress, swirl upward meeting shades of lavender and green. Just as the summer months bring warmer weather, her grace carries a sense of peace and serenity that calms the spirit and warms the heart.
