An Original design adapted by Lisa Van Eyck , in the style of the illuminated Irish gospel Book of Kells . The intricate knot work  herons form a set of 'gates', full of beautiful colours that are hand blended to produce a vibrant, colourful design. Animals, especially birds were featured in the Book of Kells, their legs, beaks and wings painstakingly  and imaginatively drawn to create  a very precious, delicate effect. We can relate to the care and attention the monks spent on their books,  as we hand blend the colours on every print!
