Celtic Spirals and Other Designs

Begin with basic circles and develop two-, three-, and four-ribbon spirals. Then square off spirals to form frets and mazes and fashion key patterns from easy-to-draw triangles. Color in brilliant tones, following tips on traditional Celtic style; make a bold effect by blackening the background or try another method for adding texture; and apply the patterns to applique, batik, calligraphy, and more. “Inspiring...a great source.”—Bead & Button.
