Another Knot

 

This is actually an adaptation from a design that I did for fabric and wallpaper on my spoonflower store:

I would link to the individual design but spoonflower is broken today... like so many things in life.

Squiggle With Bird And Snake

 

Another design.  I did the math and every design I finish takes me another 1/32nd or 3.125% of the way to having enough designs for the next coloring book.  So I'm already at 6.25%, yay!

New Fabric Design

 




I finished a new design for my Spoonflower shop and I ordered a fabric sample and the repeat is good so its for sale now.  You can buy some here:

I'm hoping to do it in colors at some point, when I figure out how.  Its hard to get colors to repeat because then the whole edge has to match and not just a few points where the lines cross over.  I got the edges to line up on this one by lining up the pixels in MS Paint.  Of course it is hand drawn but I use paint for necessary touch up and for the edges of repeating patterns like this.

Celtic Knotwork Coloring Book 3


 Here it is!  The first design for my next coloring book!

The first two coloring books are available here:

One down, thirty one to go.  I hope to finish in another seven years.  I may finish another book in the meantime though as I have several other projects I'm working on.  So stay tuned for more artwork and potentially more books!

I Finished The Cover!


 I finished the cover for Celtic Knotwork Coloring Book 2 and I've been polishing up the images for the interior, so now I just need to finish putting it together and finish up the intro blurbs and stuff and it'll be done!  I'm still planning on publishing it in July but I've got so much going on it'll probly be late July, like the last week or something.  I'll let you all know when it comes out. :)

New Coloring Book In July!

Another knot!  This is the final coloring page for my next coloring book, which will feature 32 coloring pages, and its also going to do double duty as the '2' in Celtic Knotwork Coloring Book 2 on the cover.

I still have to design the rest of the cover, make sure the pictures are pristine and do layouty stuff before I can publish it so I'm planning on it being available in July of this year.  Yay!  :D

This will be seven years after the last one so I'm sorry for taking so long and thank you all for your patience.

In the meantime here is a link to the original coloring book for whoevers interested:

https://www.amazon.com/Celtic-Knotwork-Coloring-Book-Original/dp/1534761195/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8http://

Of course I will continue to work on Celtic knotwork as well as other projects so stay tuned for further developments!

Wow, only one more to go and I'll have enough designs for my coloring book!  Of course I still gotta design the cover and all that other layouty stuff.

Celtic Spirally Circle

 

Here's another one, only two more to go before I can publish my next coloring book! 😃

Of course I still need to work on the cover and layouty stuff, so it'll be a few months.  I'm planning on publishing it sometime this year though.

Also here's a link to my first coloring book for anyone who may be interested:

Just Plain Knot

 

They can't all be super complicated, sometimes its nice to mix things up a little.

Just three more to go.

Celtic Man Petting Dog

 

Here's another Celtic knot, which means I've only got half a dozen more to go before finishing my Coloring book.  I hope to finish it either this year or next year, I think that would be super.

Happy new year!  :)

Critters With Spirals


 And here's another one!  Only seven or so more to go before I finish my coloring book.  I think spirals are good, I'd love to do more with spirals.
