Frieze wallpaper design.
To cover all the beams in the chapel dedicated to all the Saints of the British Isles, I wanted to make a design unique to its dedication. I therefore made a frieze pattern that would be consistently repeated only using 8 different symbols marking the 8 distinctive features of the saints of the isles.
-Shamrock of St Patrick (Ireland).
-The head of the dragon and sword of St George (England)
-Cross of St Andrew (Scotland)
-Daffodil and cross of St David (Wales)
-Boat representing the boat of St Felix and St Brendan, and also the saints that have spread the faith from France, Germany etc.
-Celtic cross for the monasteries of Iona, Lindisfarne and elsewhere.
-Crown and arrows of St Edmund
-Sword and Martyrs crown of St Alban (First Saint among the Isles).
