helenic: (a sprig of time)
[personal profile] helenic

This is the bit of knotwork I was working on on the train which prompted pleasing comments from small children :)



Leaf Spiral
5" x 5"
Watercolour on primed canvas paper

The design isn't original - it's a spiral group in the style of the Pictish school, from the Book of Durrow via Bain's Celtic Art (1944). Colours are mine, though. :)

That's beautiful! It's the kind of thing I'd like to wear on a t-shirt or a bag. I hope that doesn't... trivialise it. It's not meant to - it's to do with having beautiful calming things as part of everyday life.

I'm well impressed, I can't even write legibly on a train.

That's very pretty!

Reminds me a lot of the artwork Joolz does for New Model Army.

I second the opinion that it would look amazing on a t-shirt or bag :)
