Behold The Grail (coloured)

At last i’ve finished the colouring to the grail, challace image i’ve been working on, and i’m keeping my fingers crossed that i can get the challage well gardens to stock the image into there shop.
Now that i’ve added the colour it is easyer to see how the pitcher is made up. Around the grail i have added a maze, this represent the maze of life and that journey that all of us are on, with all its countless turns and mistakes that make us who we are. And in many ways each of us is on our own Grail Quest.
Around this i have added a knotwork patten this represents the two springs that run through Glastonbury. The red spring runs through the challace gardens where the Grail turns it red as it passes through it or so the ledgend goes. this spring is also full of iron and like so many others i’ve used it to clense crystals and other bits and bobs. The other spring is the White Spring which flows under the Tor and then come out across the road from the red spring. Currently the white spring is being added two and the room where the waters flow through is amazing to behold.
below the central design i have included the design of the challage well which is forged of iron and protects the well with in the challage gardens.
Whilst above i have added the cressent moon holding a pentagram, this symbol is a sign of protection as well as the pagan path, whilst the moon represents Diana and Isis two of the goddess that are worshiped with in Glastonburys Goddess temple, I hope you like it and i’m looking forward to seeing what you all think, Love and light to All Cherrie
