Artist's Comments

Drawing knotwork and making papercuttings are both very theraputic for me (and these past several days I've desperately needed to just shut my brain off from all the horror on the news), so I just combined the two crafts. Here's what's left of my parchment paper, laid on top of decorator paper (not glued down yet). It only took me a few hours, and if you like, please feel free to use this design yourself...It makes a very nice border for a scrapbook, photo, card, drawing or whatever. You'll soon see what plans I have in store for it. :)

P.S. Forgot to mention: the design was adapted from a tattoo I saw, and yes, I used an X-Acto knife. :)

You know, if you're going to spy on me, you really should turn the speaker off.

You are so fluent at drawing knotwork...I'm just starting to learn myself, and I just love the variety of knotwork designs I see in your pieces. The fact that you've cut it out too is just fantastic ^____^

That's really amazing. Did you cut it all out with an exacto knife?

Don't talk. Don't talk. It makes it crawl back up.

Nice work... that's a lot of patience right there, to work with cutouts that complex and not mangle them. Just... wow... on the sheer control and professional technique.

Oh my, that is really amazing. Symmetry can be so frustrating! I just love this though. I love Celtic Nots and you always do them so wonderful. I'm so glad you use them a lot in your work, too. They really add a beautiful style to your work that makes it so unique. I don't know why but they just suit your style and personality so well.
