This concise guide to creating authentic celtic knotwork designs provides a comprehensive plotting course and an extensive design library. Over 200 designs are scribed following Sheila's simple, step by step process..
Typical designs are worked through; with each step clearly explained. You can move on with confidence from basic designs with a heart or loop shape to develop elaborate knotwork ribbons by combining different base knots. Add animal heads and tails to close knotwork borders and extend feet, eyes, ears, tails and tongues for more intricate designs.
Sheila Sturrock shows you how to plot and adapt designs to fit any shape - irregular, circular, hexagonal - for truly versatile designs that can be applied to such diverse crafts as woodcarving, embroidery, knitting, parchment craft, patchwork, quilling and lace making.
Sheila Sturrock regularly gives workshops in paper-related crafts. She is the author of two other books :« Celtic Knotwork Designs » and « Celtic Spirals ».
