Celtic Spirals and Other Designs [Paperback]

Sheila Sturrock (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2000

Begin with basic circles and develop two-, three-, and four-ribbon spirals. Then square off spirals to form frets and mazes and fashion key patterns from easy-to-draw triangles. Color in brilliant tones, following tips on traditional Celtic style; make a bold effect by blackening the background or try another method for adding texture; and apply the patterns to applique, batik, calligraphy, and more. “Inspiring...a great source.”—Bead & Button.

After purchasing many Celtic design books, this is the best book with detail instructions and the proces of Celtic Knotwork. If you are a teacher you will enjoy this book because it gives several examples on how to create spiral works and knot works. Is easy for students to understand and for a teacher to recreate. I will said after purchasing this book I really understood the whole process. I greatly recommend it!

I just received this book and have only looked at it briefly, but I was fascinated to see the explanations of how the spiral designs are created. Pretty clever.
