Saturday Showcase: CelticMoon Craft

It's been quite a long time since I've featured another artist/blogger on my blog but I'm doing a Special Saturday Showcase today so that I can introduce you to CelticMoon Craft.

My friend June is the owner of CelticMoon Craft.  June makes the most beautiful handcrafted Celtic mandalas, Celtic crosses , and plaques.  She hand paints each in vibrant colors and decorates them with beads.  All of her crafts are made from Irish wood.  She uses traditional Celtic knotwork in her paintings.  Much of her designs are inspired from the Celtic illuminated manuscripts such as the Book of Durrow and the Book of Kells.  

Here is just a sampling of her work....






















June also has an Ebay Shop where you can bid on her crafts.


I'd love it if you stopped by June's blog and said "Welcome".  She is one of the nicest people in cyberspace and you will be glad to meet her.

This is wonderful!! Before i even read your words, I was drawn to the art immediately and as soon as i saw that first beautiful image, it reminded me of the book of Kells! Then i read that she is inspired by the Celtic manuscripts! Beautiful work. Such gorgeous colors...

I love mandalas. I learned about them very recently, but I find them extremely cathartic.

Ariel said...

The mandalas are so beautiful. I saw your beautiful work too Denise. Loved the flower post of last month's.
Thank you for leaving your kind words at Ariel.

Thank you so very much, Denni, and thanks to all of you who've written such complimentary things about my mandalas.

I love working on the mandalas - it's very cathartic and satisfying and creatively fulfilling. I'm always inspired by the Book of Kells - from that very first time I went to Dublin to see the actual manuscipt in the Library at Trinity College. It inspired me from that very first moment, and still inspires and motivates me today.

I'm only a newbie to blogging, but I'm hoping my blog will be as inviting and warm as Denni's is. I'll be visiting all your blogs just as soon as I post this comment.

Thanks again to all of you - and Denni, I'm very honoured and quite chuffed that you've given me a whole blog post to showcase my craftwork. Slan go foill - June

Hi Ana - Thanks very much for your lovely comments about my mandalas, and for visiting my blog - forgive me for the 'technical difficulties' you experienced while trying to post a comment (thank you so much for wanting to leave a comment there).

I have just checked Blogger's Dashboard and hopefully I've now sorted and fixed the problem. I'd be honoured if you stopped by for another visit and look-see to my blog, and left a comment for me. I've just subbed to your blog, by the way, and it's wonderful.

Take care, and thanks again...and sorry about my newbie mismap with the commenting. - June

Thank you, Tat, for your comment about my mandalas. WHile I'm working on each mandala, I'm sort of guided as to which colours to use each time. It's sort of an alchemical, almost magical feeling I get when I'm painting them, and I love the energy I get not only from painting them, but the energy they exude once I've put the final finishing embellishments on them. The more mendalas I paint, the more mandalas I want to and feel compelled to paint and then embellish.

Thanks again, to everyone who has expressed such positive and complimentary words about my mandalas. Slan go foill - June

Thanks very much, Lori. I'm quite chuffed at your lovely comment, as well as all the comments about my Celtic wood paintings. It'd be lovely to have you visit my blog and say hi.
