One easy way is to flip the image with a photocopier and then you can slide that under your sheet of paper and tape them to a window. Then you can trace the flipped side onto the sheet. Another way is to use a soft pencil lead - like a 2b - and trace over your lines. Then fold the paper in half at the centre line so the pencil lines face the blank side. Rub the back of the paper briskly with a spoon. The soft pencil lines should transfer lightly onto the other side of the page, and the. You can retrace them to darken them up. Smoother paper works best for this. I used to use “marker paper” (from an art store) and a 2B pencil to do it this way back in the very beginning. One thing to note is that when you flip the design your overs and u dear also get flipped - which means you’ll end up with over-overs and under -unders. So I used to flip it before the weaving stage, and then weave it after it was flipped so I could do the weaving right. 😘

Sorry for the later reply! Ya I’d love to see. You can send it to colors(at)aon-Celtic.com. Just replace the ‘at’ with @…

I don’t really. Hahaha. I recall one Celtic artist having a formula for it, but I don’t remember what it was. There seems to be e plenty in the old manuscripts that had any number of strands, so I’m not sure they aimed for anything in particular with it. I’m usually making my knots to fit a shape or design or something like that, so I’ve never had a use to figure it out. Hahaha.

Well, that takes a load off my mind. For some reason, I thought I woul be deficient if I coukdn't predict it. Thanks!!!😊

Aww thank you!

That’s not true with ancient Celtic works - they had any variety of knot strands, not just one. The old manuscripts are full of examples. People like to add all these extra myths and mystique to Celtic art - unnecessary, in my book! Celtic art is damn cool enough on it own! It doesn’t need any extra baubles added to it. Does a disservice to the ancient masters of it.

Thank you! 😊

Thank you!

Are you working on the bottom one on Worksheet #10? Email me a snapshot if you’re still having trouble and I’ll take a look. The pattern does work out to connect up, so something hinky must be going on. Head over here… the web form won’t let you attach an image, but if you type in the email address below and shoot me a copy of where you’re at we can get to the bottom of it. 😊 www.aon-celtic.com/emailer.html

It worked when I clicked it, maybe give it another shot?

I’m a lefty and I feel your pain! I have a bunch of hand… mittens? I bought a pack of white tube socks, cut the toe off, and snipped a thumb hole. I wear it no matter what medium I’m working in, as it makes a buffer between my hand and the page and I can chuck it in the wash after. There’s also something called a mahl stick, which lifts your hand off the surface of your work. They feel very awkward to use at first, but can work well. I don’t think they’re very common nowadays but you can try with a piece of dowel first to see if it works for you. You can also try using some Masonite or thin plywood to make “rails” on either side of the page, and then a third piece acts as a platform for you to rest your hand on as the hand rest slides up and down the page on the rails. Doesn’t have to be high, just enough to skim your hand over the page without touching.

@@AonCelticArt I very much appreciate your reply. I thank you for not making me feel incompetent. I will try the sock for sure. And I must constantly remind myself that I am not in a race. It takes a lot of patience to make something beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents so generously.

Hahaha! Ya it’s a fun little rabbit hole to play with! Harder to do tiny words because you need enough to dots to give you some room to play, but you can always shrink the whole design after.

My pleasure! Glad you’re enjoying it!

Ya no. That’s not how the tutorials are set up.

@@AonCelticArt UMM. WHAT? THAT'S NOT TRUE. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF TUTORIALS THAT ARE "REAL TIME" SO PEOPLE CAN FOLLOW ALONG. APPARENTLY, YOU JUST HAVEN'T GRASPED HOW TO DO THAT YET. HAPPY LEARNING!!!

That’s a great topic idea! Thank you! I’ll add it to my list.

Yes illustrator. And then I take those into keynote (Mac version of PowerPoint) and make the animations. Then I put it all together in iMovie, and do the voiceover and add the intro and ending

@@AonCelticArt Thanks for your response! I purchased one of your books not too long ago, have a nice day!

Glad you like them and it’s working for you!

Thank you! I hope you’re finding them helpful. ❤️

Thank you! I hope you find them helpful. Hoping to get some new ones out in the new year for folks. :)

Thank you Chris!

Thanks Chris! Had an injury to my arm this year that threw a wrench in all my creative stuff. So annoying!! But I’ll be back with a Manuscript Exploration video on how to draw a spiral panel! It’s a detailed one. I think folks will like it ☺️

Thanks Chris! I had an injury to my arm this year that derailed all my projects. On the mend now finally and working on a Manuscript Explorations piece on a detailed panel of spirals! I think folks will like it. 👍

Can’t wait for that they are all brilliant video easy to follow along and beautiful .ps. I’m doing the boarder out of the book of durrow tonight been waiting all day to do it

Hi Kathy! Good question! I’ve never tried to work it out, actually. There’s probably a system, like an even number by even number, or odds, or something like that. But I’ve never designed for that myself.

Patricia what was the page numbers of what you’re looking for? I’m sure I have a copy here I can send or dig up if I have it posted somewhere. :)

@@AonCelticArt thank you. It is pages 114 and 115…Dot Paper and Dot Paper: ring style, from your Creating Celtic Knotwork book. It’s right after your biography which is really why I don’t want to remove the page or flatten it too much. Want to keep your bio in the book nicely :). Thank you again I really appreciate your response. Have a great day. Patricia

Wow that came fast hey? Lol thanks so much. I’m so glad you’re finding it helpful. :)

Have you checked out the Embellishments video? I cover some alternatives there. Something like adding the triangles or little lines might work for you. If you’re just looking to add a bit of detail, I also show how to add some different piping outlines too. m.ua-cam.com/video/xoNwsfw9b7k/v-deo.html
