Summary: "The magic and mystery of Celtic knotwork disappeared with the people and the artists whose last traces date back over 1,000 years. But the fascination with their brilliantly twisted and twined knots and plaits has only grown in the centuries since. In recent years, lovers of Celtic art--as well as studio and graphic artists--had to rely on tracing paper and pencil to copy these unending twists and turns. Now, with the help of these concise descriptions and literally hundreds of simple diagrams and grids, you can execute remarkably intricate patterns on your own. You'll find it delightfully easy to create your own exquisite designs, using the same motifs that illuminated ancient Celtic manuscripts and architecture. As well, you'll discover the simple geometry behind adapting a straight knotted pattern to fill a circle, a curve or a cross. The variations and adaptations are as infinite as the endless coils of great Celtic knotwork"--Back cover.
