AnMal bought me a beautiful practical book on Celtic design for Christmas and I've started working with it using Gimp.



This is Solomon's Knot. Feel free to play with the xcf

erisian: you're gonna learn so quick it's ridiculous . good work on the solomon's knot, and good luck with the rest of the book!

Those kinda things are so hard! Nice work, looks likes you got a lovely gift. :3

Thank you both. I'm looking forward to being able to create complete Celtic designs in full colour.

Very nice Eris. I always knew you were into Celtic knots. Now you don't have any excuse, nice gift AnMal.

Good present Anmal. Hope to see more Erisian

Nicely done Erisian. I love all kinds of knots. I enjoy teaching them to my kids and my Grandkids. You can never know too few knots i say! Good luck with your endeavors.

Thank you everybody. This is a Josephine knot.

Here's what I made using Erisian's xcf file of Solomon's Knot.

Here's a Solomon's Gold Knot.

erisian:it's great to see how well you're getting along ! nice job on the josephine's too.

wallace and pegleg44: fun to see what you both did with the xcf - nice looking stuff from both of you .

here's what i did with the josephine's knot:

Beautiful work Wallace, PegLeg and AnMal. It's nice to see others enjoying these knots.

Good work guys, and gals, looks like you are having fun.

If anybody downloaded the Josephine knot and found the path mistake, I've recreated the path now. It's in the zip attachment.

erisian: ehm... what mistake?

ehm...unless I posted the earlier version, I deleted the path and tried to create a new one using Alpha to selection, selection to path which of course produced a very bad looking non-knot! Are you telling me that the path was fine and I wasted my time recreating it?

I used the smooth path script on this. Because the original path wasn't very accurate, there were gaps and overlaps after running this so I needed to do some repairs.

That is beautiful tonysteele. I love the way you have bordered it too.
