"Ich stand mir selbst gegenüber,

der Speer in der Hand blanker Hohn.

Verschwunden der Hirsch,

geblieben bloß ich.

Aus meinen Schläfen spross sein Geweih

und im letzten Licht der Sonne stand ich,

nicht Jäger noch Beute,

bloß ich..."

(FAUN - "Cernunnos")

Well, since I have touched my watercolors not once for at least half a year, I figured it really was time to use them again. I totally love the organic feel they give to a piece, but since I have very little experience with the medium I still tend to go for copic markers instead. But for this piece I decided to finally step out of my comfort zone, not only because of the watercolors, but also because this was my first time working with leaf gold. And I have to admit, I'm super happy with the result, even tho applying it was a huge mess and the smell of the adhesive made me gag XD I'm also kind of in love with my little snake ornament at the bottom, which I constructed referencing a book by George Bain, the master of Celtic artwork himself :D
