Celtic Moon - Segmentation and Fretwork

[Back2Jake]

I've mentioned this project in some other posts, and here it is... our Celtic Moon. This design is definately not for beginners. If someone new to scrolling wants to try it and prove me wrong - go for it! However, it does require you to concentrate on the design when cutting.

After a couple attempts between Sue Chrestensen and I, we finally got it cut, shaped, coloured and assembled. I enjoyed this project because it had more than the one style involved in creating it. I'd like to see more of projects where two or more styles of scrolling are used.

Comments welcome.

Take care

That's a very nice design, Toni. I like the mixture of segmentation and fretwork - maybe at some point it will inspire me to do more than fretwork ...

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I think this would be the perfect topic for your London seminar, the use of both techniques in one project. It would definitely be a seminar I would be interested in.

Beautiful and yes it does look beyond the beginner stage.

Thanks Mike.

LOL, no no art degree, no training. Sue has never taken an art class in her life, and I did in highschool and got thrown out because of a teacher that insisted art was as he seen it. Something I couldn't accept and said so. Giggle. I was mouthy back then.... giggle.

I always loved to draw and find my best creations come from elsewhere, they amaze me how they evolve sometimes. We could never afford any instruction in art, so the most my mother was able to do was blank paper and pencils. I learned to draw horses from my passion with them, and the mines and landscapes that were abundant in my childhood. I took architecture in school and worked in that field for some time, where my drawings became very linear. It has been a challenge to return to free hand drawing for many reasons.

I love what I am able to do now, and my heart belongs in art. I only wish I could make it my life.

Thank you for your kind comments on our work, it is very much appreciated.

Thank you for the link to your post Toni! It was enough to get me off my stool in the basement and get in here, join as a member and make a post. I value your friendship a LOT ... and the quality of your work? ... goes without mention. One look at this project and you can see why I'm proud to ride your coat tails!! LOL

Toni, ya got a real winner with that design!! Please give us some more Celtic designs of this type.

[Back2Jake]

More you say Bill... LOL... well what would you like to see.... I have crosses and ribbions, animals/birds/fish and masks..... and some ah.... well interesting twists. Unfortunately, until Ricki is able to spend more time doing them on corel... I can only do so many. After I get some work cleared off my desk ... I'll see what I can find in our Celtic folders.

Sue Chrestensen is convinced that we need to have a group of scrollers near by to cut this stuff... giggle.

Take care

This is a wounderful design! Please do more Celtic style of work. Is the design going to be available for people to make?

Thanks!

[Back2Jake]

It is...

Thank you Driften for your interest in the Celtic Moon. She is available to scrollers, I've PM'd you with the details.
