The Latest: Celtic Knots
Last Updated: 23dec12

Went through another hiatus recently. One step forward, two
steps still.
Winter came in, which means that I had to quit my carving for the
season. (My "workshop" is on the back porch.) So I went back to
drawing.
Lately, I've been working on celtic knots. I wasn't satisfied
with merely copying other people's knots and decided to start
working on my own. I worked from a book that I found in a thrift
store months ago: Celtic Knotwork Handbook by Sheila Sturrock.
My notebook work can be seen at "Strawberry Akhenaten's 
Temporary Web Server". If you want to see the scans look at the
22dec12 jpegs at http://192.168.0.44 (as of 23dec12), in the
folder: My Art/Notebook.
I think I got the basic principles down. After all that work, I
managed to create ONE design of my own so far. That would be the
scarab beetle labeled 22dec12-9.jpeg.
It seems unlikely that I will finish any new cartoons before the
end of the year.
It's a good thing I don't have much of a following yet. What a
slacker! I'm still here however. Still making things. Life and
art go on!
