Evermore-Fashion: Celtic Mythology
The Lady of the Lake, was an enchantress also known as Viviane or Nimue, who appears in many of the tales of King Arthur in Celtic mythology. She is best remembered for her relationships with the knight Lancelot and the infamous magician Merlin. According to legend, the Lady of the Lake lived beneath a lake surrounding the mystical island of Avalon. She also raised Lancelot after his father died, and gave Arthur the magical sword Excalibur, which he treasured. When Arthur was near death, she saved him by taking him to Avalon to await a time when his people would once again need his leadership. The magician Merlin fell in love with the Lady of the Lake, however she refused to give him her love until he had taught her all his secrets. Eventually she used her powers to trap him either in the trunk of a tree or possibly beneath a stone. Despite Merlin having the gift of foresight and seeing his imprisonment coming, he was either powerless or unwilling to change his fate.

Jim Fitzpatrick
Jim Fitzpatrick is an artist who works on creating Celtic and folk art. He has incredibly detailed paintings most of which feature a woman in the centre. Many of these woman are dressed in leine(tunic) and brat (cape) style outfits. I want to include some of these beautiful folk art patterns and or shapes into my designs where possible. Many of these patterns and shapes remind me of the pattern or shape a dance might create of it was traced our on paper. I also very much enjoy the bright colours that Jim Fitzpatrick uses within his paintings.
