Description This has taken me so long.

All done in colored pencil and pen.

The design is based off of traditional Celtic art. All the designs are actually mine, I didn't copy anything from the Book of Kells, which is what I usually do.

Hope you like it! It was very very hard work!

Oh maaan, I wish I could do that. Beautifully done! I need to practice Celtic knots...they always come out wrong when I try. :\

There's this fantastic book by a man named George Bain.

It taught me everything!

I just took the title. From this guy. Who wrote a book, and part of it was on how to draw Celtic trees.
