Tribal Triparte
This recent upsurge in “tribal” designs gives us reason for a quiet chuckle. Such designs were common among ancient warriors of many races – including the Celts. Tattoos were common as well. In ancient times, as now, these angular and angry designs were employed to add to the fierce appearance of men and women alike. Warriors took great pains to appear fierce in battle to their enemies employing devices that, to a calm and settled mind, might well appear a bit twisted. And so that’s what we’ve done here. We’ve taken the traditional triparte and twisted it a bit and added some flames – though what those flames represent – rebellion, fury, destruction or just a good fire on which to roast a knuckle of beef – is left to your imagination and desires.

Wolfhound Lover
Everyone loves and majestic Irish Wolfhound (Cucormiac) – and children all the more love these gentle giants. So great is the Wolfhound that it is said leprechauns can run beneath the standing animal while perched on one another’s shoulders. Here a single hound stands proudly encircled by a 3-strand braided border.
Available in the color "Prairie Dust" |
Hearts & Shamrocks
Ever since the story spread about St. Patrick using the three-leafed shamrock to teach the Celts about the Trinity, it has become a symbol of the Emerald Isle – a place dear to our hearts. In this stylized knot I’ve taken the shamrock and intertwined a heart into each of it’s leaves. It’s a simple, clean design, intended to lighten the spirit when it is observed. We’ve put it on shirts for all of you – from children to adults in colors that will please booth men and women alike. We’ve even put it on a long sleeve for when chilly weather comes in the hope it will warm your body as thoughts of the old country warm your heart.

The Celts (Youth sizes)
Zoomorphic designs (animal pictures) such as these wolfhounds, appear frequently in classic Irish, Scottish (Pictish) and Welsh (Cymru) art. Here, these two fine specimens, reminiscent of the legendary hounds of Finn McCool, form opposing end pieces to an inscription that proudly proclaims “The Celts”. Finn’s two dogs accompanied him through many of his grand adventures. May these two fine animals accompany your wee ones as they set out on their journeys.
