Time ??? Not sure

I created this design for the zoomorph challenge/contest [link] being put on by #TheKnotters club.

I scanned this at various stages while drawing the design, and compiled a knotwork tutorial. It can be found here ---->[link]

For one glorious second, I thought these were Celtic platypi. Then I realised they were meercats, which makes them a very close second.

Although I'm a bit late with my entry I have to say that it's fan-tastic. So I become a fan of it.
Not only the design of the lines but also the 'earth' colors are very harmonic. I love it!

Nice!! I'm not sure we have meerkats on the Celtic fringe!!

sidneyeileen In reply to throwntothewolves [2007-09-16 03:29:25 +0000 UTC]

I figure the ancient Celts incorporated into their art anything they came across. If they had known meerkats, I'm sure they would have drawn them too.

It is so odd someone asked me the other day if I knew what a meerkat was..that is not anywhere near my everyday thoughts and suddenly here you are lol
I love this symbol so much!

sidneyeileen In reply to cdn1 [2007-08-25 05:26:26 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. Meerkats were a randomly assigned animal for a knotwork challenge/contest *TheKnotters held a couple months back. I had never really thought about them before that either, but I had a lot of fun drawing this, and was very happy with how it turned out.

cdn1 In reply to sidneyeileen [2007-08-25 06:07:37 +0000 UTC]

Turned out great and they are really a funny little animal to watch....like a bunch of uber-hyper humans.

Thank you. Your art is lovely as well. I see a lot of influence from Alphonse Mucha. I love his art.
I'd love to chat knotwork sometime. In the meantime, some of my thoughts on knotwork are spelled out in my tutorial based on this piece. [link]
