Description this was done with black ink...the dots were a pain.
i do like it though, because i do like celtic knots a lot. also, i like trees.

pretty much everybody who has seen this image has commented that it is the "tree of life", and i guess it could go by that title too. trees often represent life, after all, as do celtic knots. the way knots never have a beginning or end represents the cyclic nature of life.


thanks for taking a look.

Like it? want it? (of course you do! buy buy buy! haha) you can get good quality prints and other merchandise from ellen million's store, including t-shirts. woot woo!

AH i love you!! That reminds me of the Last Unicorn.
I totally admire the ammount of detail. I tried to do detailed stuff, but it always looks overdone, so i tend to make mine rather minimalistice and use as few lines as possible so yeah i totally admire this.

Nice work! Wish it was larger as the others mentioned. You were close on the tree spelling.... yggdrasil.... I did a fractal version... Like that knotwork must've taken quite a while... Like the Celtic artworks..

Smile!! It keeps everyone wondering what you've been up to!

Yggdrasil? I think (not sure though) it's Yig-dras-sil. Again, not sure. The pic reminded me of it though, probably because I'm working on a picture of it myself.

I can't help you there...Norse isn't one of my languages.. Even the Celtic gets me tongue tangled...LOL. Guess we'll have to ask one of the Scandinavian DA members..
My version of Yggdrasil is at [link]

thats so cool I just love the way youve merged the roots with the knotwork. It reminds me of that myth about the giant tree, i think it was a norse myth but Im a bit rusty on the details Its a shame the fullview isnt bigger, Id love to see the detail close up

toeknuckles In reply to Christiane [2004-03-03 13:18:14 +0000 UTC]

i think the norse tree is called yggdrisll? something like that...my spelling is wrong, though, i'm sure.
thanks for your comment!

Hypnotic vision of roots and the style of those leave in small bits. The dark sky gives no indication of light source, because it’s not a real sky, same for the ground. I like how the roots twist themselves in symbolic signs, or just signs of beautiful patterns of protection in connectivity that everything is connected, even life itself, from one to another. In this huge spring, of endless trace: from the very first to the very last person that had ever lived. It's good, and keeping it like this also brings out the surrealistic effect. Keep it up.

lol. i'd like to say i planned it that way, leodadominico, but it was just one of those things that starred out by itself without me knowing where it was headed.

yeah, you're right. i DO have a larger version somewhere, but i just can't find it. perhaps i deleted it by mistake?
at some point i'll add the larger version!
