Description
It's been a while since I've done one of these. It's not quite as clean as my usual knotwork and the geometry is a little bit wonky but it's all due to the fact that I didn't start this with the intention of making anything of it - it was just a doodle that I worked up into something else.Media: Technical Pen

Still, quite lovely. I do most of mine by hand, so I understand wonky

Amazing, particularily for something that started as a doodle. How many strands?

That's amazing! You put my knotwork to shame. How on earth do you do it?

You are right, it has really a crappy finish... compared to your Balance Knot !
But I wouldn't dream to make such job with such quality! You have an inhuman patience, a real sense of intricacy, and it looks (more than) good.
Only the watermark prevents me of faving it, but I understand if you don't want indelicate people to steal it.

Thanks! Watermarks are ugly, but they do the trick.

Do you moved it? I usually complain when the watermark is big and intrusive, but the bottom band is OK now. Faved!

Very good
Did you think of shading the background to help the knot stand out?

Thanks! I like to leave the linework to itself. It play with people's perceptions better this way.

It's not too hard. You just start at one spot and go wherever you want to. Then you make a knot out of it. lol

I've yet to find where the geometry is "wonky"..
DOODLE??? If you call that a doodle....gah.
Anyway, this is simply amazing. As usual for you, even your "doodles" 
It should be made into a pendant, or a brooch or earrings... now to find someone who has the patience to engrave all that...

Hon, if we chatted in real life, I have a feeling we'd be really good friends. We both like a lot of the same thinigs... the asian stuff, the knotwork... And of course, this is one more fav for me!
