Celtic Carving

[HaloJones]

So this was a few firsts for me, painting a carving, using a stain block & using antique gel.

I am very happy with the result - this will be a panel on a hand bag

I used Tandy resit for the block & then a 3 way mix (antique gel / water / dye) for the stain.

I used undiluted dye for painting in the background, a sharpie for the lines, the bronze is a tandy dye & the teeth were a citadel acrylic paint.

Well done, Celtic knot work is harder than it looks!

Really nice

Nicely done!
Good contrast with the dark backgrounder and the knot lines. 
It certainly takes concentration to keep the over-- under-- over -- under pattern going without any goofs!
I have also used a fine-tip Sharpie marker to do lines like that (hey, it's just a spirit dye, after all, in an applicator with a fine sharp point.)
