My three sisters and myself are looking to get a tattoo with our father for his 70th birthday. Something very tiny to put on our wrists. We would like to do some sort of Celtic knot. He has three daughters. So maybe something that represents the number three or something with fathers and daughters, any suggestions?

Has anyone looked into the connections between celtic knots and artforms such as Kolam? Could you point me in the direction of any resources?

George Bain was an artist born in the late 1800s with some fantastic deconstruction of celtic knots, I've been trying to teach myself to draw more complex knots by following some of his book Celtic Art The Methods of Construction. That plus some of his notes about the Book of Kells that I found on a website owned by the University of St Andrew.

Is anyone familiar with any resources that might be similar?

I stand before you, a 30-year-old doctor currently reveling in the joys (and challenges) of an extended parental sabbatical. In the depths of this journey, I discovered my passion for crafting Gaelic poetry on tree branches using the ancient Ogham script. A magical combination, wouldn't you agree?

But here's the twist: despite my best efforts, my artistic endeavors have remained largely unnoticed on Instagram. I've tried everything, from other apps to quirky hashtags, but success has eluded me like a mischievous sprite. It's been a comical tale of trial and error, with more errors than I care to admit! 😅

And so, I come to you, dear kind-hearted souls of the Celtic subreddit, in search of your support, wisdom, and maybe a sprinkle of online magic. Join me in my quest to bring attention to my Ogham-scripted Gaelic poetry by following my Instagram channel. Let's ignite a firestorm of interest and fascination together!

Together, we shall unravel the secrets of this ancient script, unleash its hidden power, and breathe life into the poetic wonders carved upon those branches. It's a shared journey where we celebrate the beauty of Gaelic culture and showcase the mesmerizing artistry of Ogham script to the world.

So, I humbly request your presence and encouragement as I embark on this epic quest. Hit that 'Follow' button on my Instagram, and let's prove that even a desperate doctor-turned-tree-poet can captivate hearts and minds in the digital realm. Together, we shall triumph over obscurity and unveil the true allure of Ogham-scripted poetry!
