WIP - Celtic knot

18 years ago

I'm stuck....ran out of glass...had to put an emergency order in to MbyM. Tried cutting and grinding, AFTER making some faux van gogh. NOT! Paint peeled dreadfully. Thought I could cut and grind pieces first, then paint. NOT! Then I remembered I bought a ring saw. DUH. My order should be here on Fri/Sat and I'll be able to finish this baby.

    wow... that's very pretty... so precise! Is it to be a wall hanging? Gorgeous!

    That's beautiful! I really like Celtic music... AND designs! The faux-go really MAKES the design! Shines in just the right places!
    Yup... hate to be on a roll and run out of something. Maria is fast though!

    Just because I am from the Show Me State. Why can't you cut the pieces and then paint the backs of them? Is it too hard to keep track of where they go or? And did you use Oil or acrylic?

    This is just STUNNING!!!! Love the Celtic knot!! And so intricate!!

    Good Job.

    Thanks y'all. WENCH: I'm familiar with Jackie's work--and I ADORE her early stuff! My favorite is the box she has on Maria's site.
    SHADES: I tried to cut the pieces, using the pistol grip cutter and nippers. The corner pieces wouldn't work in the grinder and I was having to cut them in half (which is what I didn't want). Very tedious. THEN paint (acrylics). Had a brilliant idea of using polymer clay so I started cutting those out but darn my problem is not taking the time to do things properly (versus making something "work"). So I'll wait for my order from Maria and get out the ring saw and see how that goes. I bought a program on the internet that lets you design your own knots using key strokes. Very cool.

    Rosie Thanks for the explanation on the problem. Think I got it. I just bought some paints to try a little Fauxgough. I did paint some chip glass with oil paints. Then I was told here I need to spray the backs. So will get it al lined out and dash outside spray fast then back in We are having cold temps here.

    Your computer program sounds like so much fun!!!

    Thanks Again Chris

    I can't believe you forgot you had ordered a saw!

  • 18 years ago

    This is really really PRETTY! As one who could hardly stand the wait for her ring saw, I also can't beleive you forgot you ordered one! You are going to love it!

    Wow! Such intricate pieces, and cut work. I admire you tenacity! Gorgeous piece, and I can't wait to see the completed work.

  • 18 years ago

    That is going to look wonderful when you are done. Nice cutting work too. I'm too scared to try to cut that many straight long pieces - I get waves going when I try.

  • 18 years ago

    Wow, love it. I've been wanting to do a celtic know ( less intricate - one of those simpler designs). yours is fantastic!!
