Some Notes On These Items


The graduated celtic knot in the heading is a watercolour.


The first one is a combination of two interests - quilling and celtic art. These images also appear on our third quilling gallery!

The Goose is a representation of an ancient symbol of the Holy Spirit of the Iona Community (an island off the NW coast of Scotland) and is similar to a design used with a calligraphy project: browse the quilling galleries! The goose logo is the copyright of the Iona Community - visit them at www.iona.org.uk. Also, you can visit their bookshop at the Wild Goose Publications' website.

Pisces and Aquarius are the first two in a series of Celtic style Zodiac cards.

The knotwork Easter Eggs were designed as a project for a Celtic workshop, incorporating both knotwork and calligraphy.

The Irish Harp was commissioned as a design for brass rubbing. Whether it was ever actually used as such we do not know!

Either side of the harp are a couple of examples of simple knotwork badges (called "buttons" in the USA, I think) made entirely from coiled and rolled paper strips - another combination of quilling and celtic art. If you got this far you have surely seen lots of examples of Lesley's quilling :-)

Finally, three low-resolution scans of knotwork designs
