    Yes Thomas! :o)  In the earrings, it's a very easy and subtle 
'over-and-under' pattern signfying the celtic style. Of course, the 'Tree of 
Life' was also prevelant back then, apparently. ;)

 Did you notice that the brooch is the earring design doubled-up? I'm sure 
you did. Getting that celtic knot (known as a 'Josephine knot'*) in the 
middle is just the top loops of the earrings interlaced with eachother - I 
raised some loop-edges, and lowered some others.

     Dang! You keep blushing, and now I am... Thank you.

   * It was only about 7 years ago that I learnt this name for this pattern, 
even though I'd used the pattern fairly extensively in my jewellery designs. 
The name, and the pattern, has significant meaning for me - my mother's name 
was Josephine, and that's also my daughters name too...
