seriously, though - thanks!
abraess: i don't get them from anywhere in the sense download them as brushes or paths or something. i made these from scratch using the gimp path tool. but i have several books on celtic art and design and i've learned basic knotwork construction from them. lately i've also been tipped off on some very good gimp tutorials on knotwork, here they are if you're interested:
http://www.gimptalk.com/index.php?/topic/6570-triskit-knot-tutorial/ (making of a basic triquetra knot)
http://cryosphinx.deviantart.com/art/Knotwork-Tutorial-for-Gimp-150541603 (a bit more complex than the triquetra, but not too overwhelming)
erisian: thank you

. what about your own celtic stuff - didn't you say long, long ago that you had an xcf with some knotwork you could tweak?
photo comix: i can't keep up with mad science! from celtic virus to celtic snakes in practically no time, where will we end up, i wonder?

. there are quite a lot of celtic music lovers here on gc (i'm one if them) and also many who love celtic knotwork.
