IONA Mobile Phone Cover
Keep your phone cozy this winter! This Gansey inspired mobile phone cover will be a snug fit for most Smart Phones, since there is enough stretch in the patterning to expand to the phone size. (front view shown here in Jasper). The front panel shows the 'Tree of Life' pattern, and the reverse is the 'Church Window'.Mariners watched for 'andmarks' when sailing the coast, hence the number of churches in prominent positions by the villages with harbours.
