Default Re: Part 1: Celtic Line Drawing for Engravers


I’ve used the magic of the computer to reverse the colors. Notice how there are little white spaces in between all the lines now.

And since this tutorial is focused on engraving, here’s a pendant-shaped plate engraved with a little bit of plaitwork, the original sketch, pattern, large version and life size (the smallest). Don’t look too closely at the shading - I know that could use a little work...

And with that, we’re finished with Celtic Plaitwork. A little practice on your part, and you’ll be ready to move on to Part 2: Celtic Cutwork and Part 3: Celtic Circles. See the examples below. If you thought Plaitwork was fun, Cutwork and Circles is where the real excitement begins!

Celtic Line Drawing Parts 2 and 3 are available for purchase through Steve's new EngravingLessons.com here: http://www.engravinglessons.com/On-D...0Tutorials.htm
