Description This is an abstract decorative Celtic knotwork design based around a circular knot that I think I adapted from one by John G. Merne. It's circled by interlocking spirals and framed by three-cornered knots, all set within a traditional repeating border design.

Wonderful!
And you get a bonus for observing the traditional rules of the style and keeping every path continuous and the overlapping always alternating under-over-under-over...so many modern artists ignore those rules...

How do you design these? Paper and ink (or pencil), graphics programs?

BWS In reply to assimilated [2004-06-24 00:08:09 +0000 UTC]

Most of these - especially the repeating patterns - start out on paper, then get scanned and colored in Photoshop. I've done some of the more freeform designs in Photoshop from start to finish, but they're the exception.

Most of these are drawn on paper, then scanned, and colored in Photoshop - certainly the repeating designs. With some of the more freeform work I work completely in Photoshop; but that's the exception.

i've tried for some time (on and off) to reproduce some knotwork designs... but yours... WOW... these are phenomenal!
I particularly like this one... the colors are just beautiful.

I think this is my favourite of your knotwork pieces so far. The colours go very well together.

I'm jealous, you come up with so many variations, each one so unique and wonderful. I wish I could do that, unfortunately, I am also trying to learn other things about art, so I can not lend time to learn how to make such beautiful pieces of work.
