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?

Attention, fellow seekers of Celtic wonders and lovers of all things unique! Gather 'round as I share my tale of persistence, adventure, and a pinch of desperation.

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!

(You see, I tried a few...)

Remember, my dear comrades, every like, comment, and share is a step closer to spreading the magic and fascination of this ancient art form. Let's make waves, break through the noise, and showcase the enchantment of Ogham script far and wide. 🌟

P.S. Rest assured, I won't be prescribing medication in Ogham once I am back to my usual job;)

Does anyone know if there is wallpaper with Celtic knots on it? I'm searching this for my new house, but in the Netherlands I can not find wallpaper with Celtic knots on it. So maybe anybody here can help me to find the "web" shop who sells this.

Im looking into getting a tattoo of a Celtic knot and really like the idea of the fathers knot. However I see two pretty different designs. One design mimics an acorn entwined with a heart entwined with an eternity knot. The other design looks like the eternity, just a little busier (for lack of a better term.) Hoping someone can shed light on this for me?

For reference this link goes to the fathers knot with the acorn.
