stand out celtic knotwork

Recommended Posts

This is an easy trick I learned that can work quite well to give you the illusion of height to your celtic knowtwork. Rather than my posting a picture just grab a piece of scrap leather and make a figure eighte rope and tool it to see if you like the effect.

When beveling the knot work change to a ribbed beveler when crossing over another piece of the knotwork. Then when finished beveling the entire piece use a hair blade to follow the knot work. The hair blade really make it stand out and the ribbed beveler really makes the knotwork look like it goes underneath the other loop. This can be especially effective it you are laying your knotwork over some other design or picture. Of course you can do the beveler and not the hair blade for a little different effect.
