“Cordelia”
Cordelia, in Irish, means jewel of the sea. I thought this looked like a beautiful ornate jewel that I would love to find at the bottom of the sea. The colors are varying greens and blues and turquoise with 23kt gold diamonds on the top and bottom.

This is done with a purple background. The “C” is done with a slight reminder of the Celtic knotwork.
Look closely and you will see the celtic sea turtles pointing to the four corners of the earth.
A wonderful cross with Celtic knots throughout and the symbol in the center tells the story.
“The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts and I am helped.” Psalm 28:7
I had just finished reading one of those great books about Henry VIII England so I was really in the mood for knots and crowns.
The inspiration for this piece came from the carpet pages from the “Book of Kells”.
