Artist's Comments

A year and a half ago when I carved halloween pumpkins, I said I wanted to try doing some wood carving instead. Here's my first one.

The design is based on the Rosace knots from `Cedarseed's Arabesque made easy, (thanks for the input Joumana!)

I don't know what you can call the small designs inside the knots; I just added them because I didn't know how to do anything else.

As you can see from the carving, my lines are very rough, and hopefully I'll get better. (Here's a picture of the steps I followed if you're interested: [link])

Now about this one,
Size: 65 x 65 cm (~ 26 x 26 in)
Tools: compass & marker for drawing, electric drill for carving

This is really beautiful and I know it can't have been easy! I don't think there's a name for the smaller ornaments, they're just that. They create a lovely contrast of scale with the knot. I hope you'll be inspired to try more!

Thank you so much. You've been very helpful. I'm definitely inspired to do more, but next time I'll be getting the right tools for it.
Meanwhile, I'm really digging wood work. I've almost finished a small bibliotheque, and I can't express how awesome it feels building something from scratch!

I know just what you mean, it's wonderful :) Looking forward to your next!
