    I could point you to many scripts and pictures of crosses, but to be honest I think if you want something with meaning it needs to be meaningful to you, and that is really something you should find for yourself.

    I wouldn't know really with this sort of project (mine come from different things.)

    Celtic is a wide wide subject really, maybe pin pointing what section (not from a design/monument point of view but a meaning/story view and work from there? That way you're bound to find something you like that has meaning.

    Why don't you pick something you actually have an interest in instead of saying "I want something Celtic" and just asking people for something random...

    If you pick something you actually care about you might be able to turn it towards a Celtic theme rather than just getting some arbitrary design because it's "Celtic" (what does that even mean btw!?)

    My advice would be to have a look at some books on Celtic design and history in a bookstore. Waterstones/Easons/ hodges & figgis carry a good selection. Failing that try getty images in Google.
