Description
UPDATED: fav.me/d9ta8a3Some pages of my sketchbook
Examples of my interpretations of different historical knotwork styles. Many people have problems distinguishing them from one another, so here is an attempt to help.
Viking: Mammen; Ringerike and Urnes Style
and the Insular Celtic style
Note, that Mammen and Ringerike style are actually quite similar, and my interpretations are not 100% correct.

Thank you for at least that (and quick reply). 
(Keep up your art, it's absolutely stunning. I've been stuck on strolling through your gallery last night and... wow.)
