I have been trying to get the colors right for the green variant of my Endless Celtic Knotwork Panel fabric print. I think this is it!

#CelticArt #CelticDesign #CelticKnot #Knotwork #Textiles #Fabric #SurfaceDesign

A piece of fabric adorned with a Celtic key / maze pattern that looks kind of like spirals but square in green, slate, and pale yellow lying flat with a marbled lavender and white 20-sided die with metallic gold numbers.

I made a walnut frame for one of my Celtic knotwork frog prints! This frame fits 7cm square prints (the format Open Press Project uses for their exhibitions).

Small Celtic knotwork frog printed in green on a copper square, with a white mat in a walnut frame.

I finally got around to making a Celtic knotwork / interlacing fabric design to go with my Celtic key pattern and spiral designs! Seen here with one of my 42mm d20 chonks.

Fabric with an endless pattern of intricate Celtic knots in shades of blue with yellow stars on a darker blue field lying flat with a bright orange-red and bronze 20-sided die with black numbers.

I finally got a chance to play with my new Open Press Postcard Printing Press! I cut a plate with this new knotwork frog I designed, and got some pretty good results after a little fiddling. After starting on this, I noticed that frogs seem to be bubbling up out of the collective unconscious a lot right now. I wanted to join the Open Press print exchange, but ran out of time to get prints to them. Maybe next year!

Here is a close-up of the Celtic knotwork washi tape.

After making hardwood gift boxes for the 20-sided dice I made to give as holiday gifts, I decided they needed an additional wrapping to protect them, and to create a reveal for the wooden boxes.

I've been playing around with the idea of incorporating some #celtic #knotwork into the images I put on my #jewellery, either just following the border of the image, or potentially following some of the major lines/shapes in the art --- here's a mock-up of what it might look like for one of my book pendants, compared to the 'straight' image.
Thoughts? I'd love to hear which you prefer!

Well, it's the tail end of #WorldKnotTyingDay (marked on the anniversary of Clifford W. Ashley's death.) I had grabbed the supplies to make this bellrope a few weeks back, and finally put the homemade fid to good use making it tonight.

This one is my stab at Mikko Snellman's one-piece bellrope, tied in 8mm hemp. Still needs to have the strays burned off and to be shellacked.

Just a couple of Portuguese sennit (Solomon Bar/Square-knotted) bracelets tied up in 3mm cotton, just for the heck of it. Footrope knots for the fastening buttons, left a bit of the ends frayed out, again for the heck of it.

Have a rope splicing project on the to-do list, and the hemp line I'm working with is pretty stiff. Haven't owned a decent splicing/Swedish fid in years, so made myself one from a scrap of 1/2" copper pipe and a bit of oak dowel. Not too bad considering I did this all with hand tools, whittled handle and all, although I'm going to take a second stab at it with the other section of copper pipe.

Had a request from one of the offspring, so tied up another one. Same dealio: bellrope-style keyfob, Matthew Walker knot at the loop, crown sinnet, and a footrope knot.

A 5-lead, 4-bight Turk's Head converted into a Gaucho knot, then doubled. At least, I'm pretty sure I got the conversion right—this is a new one to me.

Bought a small set of tools sized for the small cord I've been using (and paracord), which came with this marlinspike/case. Re-tied the paracord lanyard it came with with something a bit more decorative than the overhand knot it came with, and tied a purely decorative 4B5L turk's head around the case itself, just because.
