Description This is 's completed commission of a pair of barn owl wings done in Celtic knotwork.

I am immensely pleased with this design since I only had minimal guidance from my Celtic art construction method book and had to make most of the knots up as I went. Regardless of this, I feel it still turned out quite solidly and I love how the knotwork mimics the feathers in the fringes of the wings.

Thank you for asking.

The designs in my gallery are solely for the use of my customers who originally paid to have me custom design them and they are not for public use or any kind of alteration other than myself or my clients. However, if you're interested in placing an order for a similar custom design of your own, I'd be happy to work with you on it. 

Or, if you would like to purchase one of my pre-made designs that are available for license of $15 USD each, please click here: wildspiritwolf.deviantart.com/…

Lovely shape and structure. The feathers are great. The loop at the leading edge, at the wing's 'elbow' need to be reversed though; you have double over / double under.

This is FREAKING GORGEOUS!

I have to use a computer program to make the knots I want, and none of them are as good as yours.

These look good enough to be in a graphic novel.

God! you're a genius.
I always wanted to manage to do celtical work but the most similar I can do are tribals, different and miscellaneous tribals but I still want to do celtic stuff.
See you!
