Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bring the ancient beauty of Chinese knots into any craft practice, and learn the many uses this nearly-lost art form can have in your own home. The Complete Book of Chinese Knotting is the culmination of 20 years of research into the ancient art of Chinese knotting presented in a way that's easy to learn and fun to knot! Inspired by the decorative knots that embellish ancient artifacts such as pots, jade, statuary, boxes and paintings, the author has systematically classified each of the basic Chinese knots, many almost forgotten, and their variations. Creative applications reveal the practical potential for Chinese knotting in everyday life, but the artistic possibilities abound too — such as using Chinese knots for beaded jewelry. In addition to the useful "summary" of the four major techniques for tying basic knots and the nine main ways of modifying them, the author introduces 56 brand new knots in this book — each accompanied by helpful color photos and diagrams. Take advantage of the little-known methods of Chinese knotting found in this book, and bring an age-old decorative tradition into your creations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive survey of Celtic knot design is based on the canon of traditional knot patterns collected by the father of the 19th-century Celtic Art revival, John Romilly Allen, and is accompanied by the author's unique triple-grid analyses. A step-by-step guide to drawing Celtic knots, the most widely appealing form within the rich repertoire of Celtic design. This comprehensive survey of Celtic knot design is based on the canon of traditional knot patterns collected by the father of the nineteenth-century Celtic Art revival, John Romilly Allen. His work has inspired generations of modern Celtic artists, but until now his definitive collection of knots from authentic sources has only been available in an obscure academic journal. Aidan Meehan's Treasury is the most complete compendium available on these marvelously decorative and versatile designs. He first presents all the Celtic knots that Romilly Allen discovered, making each pattern intelligible with detailed instructions that show the primary, secondary, and tertiary dot grids, and then finishes the designs that the earlier artist provided. The knots are no longer clipped out of context, with loose ends, but developed into whole new ornaments, shown in two colors and in a variety of treatments.
