Celtic House Blessing - Cast Paper

☙ Inspirational Irish Proverb ❧

May your troubles be less,

And your blessing be more,

And nothing but happiness,

Come through your door.

☙The Keepsake Story ❧

-The crown and cross represent the Spirit of Clan, the guiding force of the Celtic culture. This also shows the protective efforts of the -ancestor's spirits.

-The flora design denotes awe and respect for the forces of nature.

-The Celtic Family Circle - The top two rings represent parenthood and the equal status of husband and wife in the Celtic culture. The lower ring shows the natural dominion of parents over children and their obligation of protection and care.

-The connective design denotes the bonds of the family.

-The Irish Hounds at the base represent the dominion of man over the beasts and their responsibility to be worthy guardians.

☙ What are my matting and framing options? ❧

● Mat Options. This work of art is mounted for display on acid-free mat board with a top mat and a liner mat. A hidden foam spacer is between the mats and back to create depth for the artwork. The color options are listed top to bottom. For example, Black-Gold-Maroon would be a black top mat, a gold liner mat, and the bottom mat maroon. Regardless of frame choice, you will receive mats.

● No Frame Option. You may choose to receive this work without a frame. You will still get the mats and it will be ready to frame but can not be hung until it is framed. You will need a canvas depth frame to frame this on your own. Framing can be costly and difficult for thicker items like this. I only recommend this option if you are familiar with what framing entails.

● Framed Option. You may choose to have your item framed. We frame in high-quality black anodized aluminum frames with glass. This no-hassle option is ready to hang. I strongly recommend this option for items that are intended as gifts.
