Hive account@sallybeth23 donated 2.0 SBD last week, Thank you!

The Inspiration for this weeks stencil came from a suggestion on discord from Hive account@sallybeth23. She suggested a Celtic Weave style pattern as she really likes the intricacy involved in them. I also added my own inspiration of a Dream Catcher, as they too can have intricate weaving pattern. I wove the two ideas together and this weeks pattern is the result! I hope you all like it!

Have fun, but most importantly have a relaxing zen-colouring sesh!
