Thank you, your words are very kind. Maybe you're right and that needs to be thicker... But it's a work done and finished

exquisitely detailed, per usual. great job! I do feel like I need something more from the plain red line; maybe it just needs to be thicker?

Although I love designing and coloring knots, I'm pretty terrible at creating authentic pieces such as what you have done. I find it ironic that such intricate art comes from a people who were known to be vicious warriors.
Can I ask how you made it? You've got it under digital, so what program did you use? Or did you scan in a drawing then color it? However you did, I bet those dots were making you cross-eyed by the time you finished.
And congratulations on winning the contest; I just saw that in The Knotters journal.

Gracias 
Siempre digo que es más fácil de lo que parece, simplemente con paciencia y mucha práctica se pueden hacer cosas muy bonitas. Si quieres aprender te recomiendo los libros de Aidan Meehan, publicados por Thames & Hudson, el manual de George Bain también está bien pero es más enrevesado y, bueno, el mio no está mal para principiantes... yo aquí he venido a hablar de mi libro

Robert has introduced me to to rubrication, and I must say I recognized it immediately when I looked at this! This is absolutely stunning!
There isn't anything I DON'T like about this piece. Great job!!

This is OMG incredible. I love it. I want this to win. You did the sort of style I did but carried it to levels of precision and beauty that I didn't come close to. Your rubrication kicks my rubrication's butt, wow, perfect. I love this sort of thing.
There are some other incredibly good letters that may win. But I think you've got a chance, it's awesome.

You're welcome. I still love your rubrication. You've inspired me, and the next time I do illumination at all, I'm going to give myself enough time for seriously good rubrication. I space the dots much farther apart, but I like how you did it.

All comes from Lindisfarne Gospels. Those kind of dotted knotwork patterns can be found in the most of pages of that masterpiece.

That is wonderful. I've got several books with reproduced pages of Lindisfarne and also some with black and white renderings of Lindisfarne designs, and it is so beautiful. I think the rubrication patterns turned up in other manuscripts too though, that it was a widespread technique. I learned about it from an expert calligrapher in person, who liked something I was doing and then asked about why I hadn't done it -- when I hadn't known about it or noticed it on historical examples. Now that I know, I do it anytime I do large capitals or any manuscript layout in that style.

My God! The title of this deviation is wrong
It musts say LindisFARne and not LindisFRAne. Sorry for my typing mistake

La diferencia es que ellos lo hacían mucho más pequeñito, yo tengo que hacer las cosas tres veces más grandes para poder atinar...
