At Great Northeastern War XX, Baron Conrad Connor MacAllyn was elevated to the Order of the Pelican. I designed and embroidered a celtic pelican design which would then be added to a cloak made by Lady Giana and presented to Conrad during his elevation ceremony.
I quickly found out that it is almost impossible to find a celtic pelican pattern, so I had to improvise with various celtic knotwork designs to piece one together. The pelican was taking from a celtic clipart collection of Mistress Gwenhwyfar dinas Emrys, and was further embellished with the blue knotwork trail.
The nest was taken from the book 101 Celtic knotwork designs by Courtney Davis, although only half of the originally round piece was used, and was then modified to finish the knotwork to create the nest look.
