Celtic Knots

I began drawing knotwork a couple of years ago and I am hooked! The grace and beauty of these ancient designs always fascinates me. I began to notice them when I started reading more Celtic myths. After practicing by drawing out the ones I had seen in books, most of these being very old reproductions of traditional designs; I began creating my own. This one, with the tower Drumree in County Meath Ireland, is made up of five interlocking frames and is my own design. Like the circle, which represents the continuous journey of life, the intertwining braids are said by some to depict aspects of one person's life journeys, or the roads of several people crossing each other.
