I took these words and decided to create a cohesive unit of work.
I decided to make mirrors with embroidered frames and based my designs on my travels in 2004 and 2005 to Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. While we lived in Scotland in the early '90s I had collected images from standing stones, and all of these were used as inspiration for my Viking/Celtic designed mirrors.
