This is my interpretation of the traditional ‘Irish Tree of Life’, also known as a ‘Celtic Tree’. A sacred symbol in folklore representing harmony and balance in nature, long life, wisdom, and strength. It’s even known as a gateway to the spirit world, with it’s branches and roots connecting heaven to the underworld. There’s something very mystical about the design with both the roots and the branches emulating each other, gracefully curling, twisting and turning, with little sequins and beads at the end of the delicate spirals, which catch the light beautifully. One of my favourite trees is the oak. The inspiration for this came from a wonderful moment with a magical tree on my summer 2020 West Coast of Ireland trip. It was on our ‘to see’ list but nothing could have prepared us for how truly beautiful it was, just like out of a fairytale. Here I am saying hi to the ancient yew tree in Muckross Abbey outside Killarney, you’ll see the trunk has a swirly growth spiralling upwards which I’ve captured in my little piece. Another wonderful spot closer to homier Ireland is the ‘Dark Hedges’, where in fact they are not hedges at all but magnificent big trees lining a country road (famously appearing in the television series ‘Game of Thrones’). Like all our pieces, it twinkles like a piece of jewellery.
