Product Description
Product Description
Designing Celtic knotwork patterns can be as easy as drawing hearts, loops, and lines on a graph. Traditional knotwork has long been a favorite source for crafters of all kinds, but they’ve always had to rely on ready-made images. This handbook changes that, because it teaches the essential elements of construction so that anyone can plot borders, motifs, animal figures, and more.

Simple techniques, beautiful results,

This review is from: Celtic Knotwork Handbook (Paperback)
In the "Celtic Knotwork Handbook" Sheila Sturrock invites the beginner into the adventure of designing and constructing beautiful Celtic knotwork patterns. Don't be fooled by the simple techniques explained in the book. By first teaching how to plot basic patterns on a graph paper, she teaches the student the basic patterns and designs. From these basic beginnings the student then learns how to leverage those skills to create larger more complex patterns. In a matter of about an hour I was able to design and draw basic patterns easily. By the next day I could design and produce much more complex patterns and was quite pleased with the results. An enjoyable book that teaches one of the easiest methods to learn and create Celtic knotwork, it is a valuable reference as well as just plain fun.

The Celtic Knotwork Handbook, a perfect book for beginers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Celtic Knotwork Handbook (Paperback)
If you are just getting started, or have been interested in knotwork for a while, this is a great book! It provides historical information, diagrams, how to make circular knots, anamorphics, and more than 100 original knots, which include corners, borders, and motifs. This is the best keltic knot book I've seen.

I guess they're cutting publishing costs.,

This review is from: Celtic Knotwork Handbook (Paperback)
I went to the store a few days ago to take a look at this book before I decided to buy it. When I found it I was a bit dissappointed in what I saw. It looks like the same book she made in 1998. It even uses the exact same cover only this time it is brown. Don't get me wrong, that is a great book and I use it all the time, but this book was about 2 inches X 2 inches smaller. I personally prefer the larger version which is 7 1/4 inches by 9 3/4 inches. If you don't mind the smaller size, it has been a wonderful reference. I also love how they illustrate both the two-dimensional line drawing and the final three-dimensional drawing side by side.
