Aidan Meehan books are superb guides for the Celtic artist.
Aidan Meehan gives us fantastic, comprehensive guides on Celtic design making it easy for the artist to follow. I have copied and painted my own designs from his detailed drawings and incredible studies of the medieval manuscripts and more. All his books are essential to the Celtic artist enthusiast.

Disappointing
It's not what I expected. Only a few drawings inside the book. I expected corners and endings drawings also. Very repetitious.

Holy Moly!
This is gonna keep me busy for a while. Wish it had more about doing basic celtic knotwork.If it was a college course, it wouldn't be a 100 level. I think they assume that you already know a lot.

Clear instruction for creating your own intriguing borders
This book is intended to instruct and inspire an artist to create their own Celtic borders. Aidan Meehan is passionate about Celtic design and hopes that this book will aid in a resurgence of fresh invention and creativity in the field of interlaced art.Aidan has identified consistent principles and techniques that will enable even a beginner to draw gorgeous celtic borders. He begins by introducing the conventions that underlie all Celtic borders by clearly explaining the use of a layout grid.Next he constructs a series of borders, each building on the previous example. He clearly explains how borders are connected at corners, which I have found difficult to understand in other texts. He explains how to draw delightful animal borders that are often considered too difficult for a beginner to attempt. Although a beginner, I had success by using his techniques. Follow them and you will be able to draw wild men interlaced with biting dogs!The text is also fun because it is sprinkled with his observations on optical illusions, brain teasers, and how the left and right side of the brain are affected by the designs. He feels, and so will you, that this is the secret of the enduring charm of Celtic border designs.

Parfait pour donner des idées de motifs à broder. Evidemment , il faut adapter à la technique de broderie, mais en boutis, c'est super
