Artist's Comments

Knotwork.
My own style of interlace with zoomorphs.

The wide green band is one continuous strand. The integrity of the over, under, over, under weaving has been maintained, sometimes in strange ways, but go ahead, trace some of it out. Let me know if you find errors. Anywhere.

An actual full original, no computer manipulation. Strathmore Bristol, color pencil (all kinds) and even a little crayon.

WOW.
Seriously, this is amazing!
How long did it take you?
I love the colours, I love the animals, everything really. :D

It took a very long time. Probably around 200 hours. I do not work fast. Thank you for the fav!
:iconbleu-tea:
Wow!
That IS a very long time.
You are welcome! :)

Yes it was, and my next few pieces will be a lot simpler.

Thank you so much, for the fav and for the watch.

It is mostly images from the unconscious (telling a story that only I can understand) and one of my favorite authors as a child was Dr.Suess so I feel that plays in, as well of course as thing like Grims fairy tales. I really am still learning knotwork so a piece like this five years from now likely wouldn't take nearly as long. I sure hope so anyway!

You're very welcome. And thank you for the comments on my work too :-)
