    I know this probably isnt the right place to put this, but couldnt think of anywhere else that might be more appropriate.

    Anyway, i've been looking for artists representations, pictures and generally anything that incorporates the war paint the celts used to wear (the woad blue spiral designs) i'm trying to do a bit of research on this topic and cant find anything I can use as a visual reference, even pictures from childrens books will do at his stage i'm getting so desperate - HELP :eek:

    Thanks in advance.

    If you want i can copy this over to arts/crafts (there are a few people there who'd be able to help you out) and leave a redirect from here?

    I always thought it was the Picts rather than the Celts who painted themselves blue with woad. I might be wrong though.
