Thanks for inspiration and instruction! Love this new tutorial. Surely you must have begun teaching a a VERY young age if you have been sharing your knowledge for 25 years! Thanks so much!
Bahahaha I am coming up on 50 in two years... it’s kind of freaky when I think of the math. “Really?? That can’t be right... huh. Nope. That’s it. Huh.” Lol
Thanks for posting . I signed up for a course with you a couple of years ago. It was in Leduc. Things have now changed and I am so glad that you are doing your videos. I have two of your books and have given one to my grandchild. Looking forward to more of your wonderful video classes.
I just tried my hand at making a pattern using your dot paper method, and I added some bounding lines for flair. I was thinking this morning I could probably do something to make those bounding lines into letters, and low and behold you already (3 years ago) have a video about doing just that!
Hahaha! Ya it’s a fun little rabbit hole to play with! Harder to do tiny words because you need enough to dots to give you some room to play, but you can always shrink the whole design after.
how do you get to the more intricate designs where they go all over the page? Or all the knots woven in an out of each other? Thanks for the tutorials, your methods are definitely easier to understand than others I have tried to use
Hi Amy! Sorry for the late reply, I was grinding a deadline. Lol. You can approach the bigger complex pieces in two ways. One is to work a single enormous single work - essentially breaking up or taping together a bigger dot sheet of paper, adding walls all over it, and then weaving it up. The other way would be to kind of break it into pieces and work each chunk as it’s own thing. You see this a lot in the old manuscripts, and that’s how they designed the “carpet pages”, where you see the mix of knots and spirals and animals etc. Check out the “Joining Knots” and especially the “Borders” videos for some examples of this. I am working on some spiral videos that’ll be out later this month and a probably a few more videos after that too. We’re not done with knots of course, but I’m going to start tying in other types of designs this year so folks can “expand their repertoire”, now that we have some basics down. Next video will be on “Transferring Designs”, so folks can see how to take sketches and roughs and transfer them to good paper for inking or painting. :)

Hi Rose! oh yes! I remember you. Small world... glad to meet up again. :-)
As before, your tips are always so informative and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge with us.
Thanks Beth. *hugs*
