An ancient pattern of integrated knots forms the timeless symbol of Ireland, the high cross the unique and forever call to the faithful.
Shown here is a cross I did 20 years ago covering up a Tasmanian Devil cartoon, and also what it looked like after a full rebuild decades later with new lines and white ink in the interlace. Same cross, decades of wear.
The beauty of a writhing snake, with a celestial spray of stars down its back, brings its movement and sensuous curves to unity with the skin.
Finding just the right spot for this sinuous snake to writhe about was a bit of a challenge, but once we decided the head on the top of the foot let the neck turn and flex, giving animation to the pattern, then that kinetic element made this the best choice. Fortunately my very pale Sami friend shows the bright blue dotted color to best advantage.
A very wide Celtic knotwork band, designed to bridge the gap between the bottom of a short sleeve and cross over the elbow and onto the forearm.
Tribal wear for the modern Celt. A bold Celtic knot leg piece that is permanent body armor.
