I spent a lot of time drawing Celtic Knots this summer, in a little journal. It helped me meditate, as it were. And it’s been a while. But the journal was here, lunch time was here, and my embroidery was a 10 minute drive away.
I have been reading about Fresnel lenses, and wondered what would happen if I started similar structures in a knot. This first knot is still fairly straightforward, and I already have several ideas on how I can expand/improve it for the next version. So let’s look at the in-progress pictures where I’m using the method described in the Celtic Knots Class Handout.
