Beautifully done. Thanks for posting. It's nice to see Nimueh happy and (possibly) not scheming. The symbolism with the Crane is certainly suitable for her. Was it actually mentioned in the show that she is/was a High Priestess? The Crane itself is lovely and I like the delicate yet strong feel to it. Thanks for the link to the Imago Corvi work...lovely designs and I was interested in the symbolism. Rowen trees are so pretty...if I didn't rent I'd plant one. I refuse to call them Mountain Ash...how mundane!

Really lovely image!
It looks like Nimueh and the crane are taking flight.
Great knot in the back as well!

love the knot, the crane's fierce stance, and Nimueh's dress and the tiny smirk on her face! <3

Oooh, they look like they're dancing - that's awesome! I love the knots in this, and the design and colours just look so pretty together.
