Celtic Knots Tests
Lately I've been exploring Celtic knots. I started these recipe cards testing the method similar to constructing the tangle Huggins, but I discovered another book and tried a different method which is more similar to my Freeform Knots class. I also tried some treatment options, mixing brown pen tangling with some color.
Here’s a video of the recipe cards:
Here’s another card using the “Huggins” method.
Later I discovered another system shown in a book (Celtic Knotwork Deisgns by Sheila Sturrock) and although not as precise, I like it a bit more.
And finally, I played with some treatment, and I’m really happy with it, even though it’s not as 3D as I normally like.

I’m so pleased with this beautiful mandala I made using a stencil by Kathryn Costa (Four Gates Mandala). I mixed two techniques: 1) painting with Pitt artist brush pens and Inktense pencils and 2) embroidering on paper. Very very fun to make!
