A variety of designs from
smaller, comparatively simple knots, to intricate frame style knotwork
borders, bands, zoomorphic designs, key patterns and spirals and including
two complete Celtic knotwork alphabets
This book has over 400 illustrations,
half of which are step-by-step instructions followed by analyses of knotwork
patterns from traditional sources, such as a chapter on the knotwork carpet
page from the book of Durrow.
Aidan Meehan's original studies
of animal ornaments drawn from the Book of Kells will inspire you to experiment
with your own painting techniques and color schemes. Works of art in themselves,
the large-scale drawings are developed from motifs from the four main categories
of animal patterns used throughout the Book of Kells--cats, birds, eels,
and little people.
Borders are a natural development
of Celtic patterns, whereby an abstract or animal pattern may be repeated
to fill a band or frame a panel. Aidan Meehan shows how to create a variety
of rectangular Celtic borders, based upon a simple square-grid.
Courtney Davis brings together
in his art a deep understanding of Celtic skills & tradition along
with a charming "pop" sensibility. Before attempting to create Celtic design,
one would do well to live with "The Art of Celtia" for awhile.
16 pages in color & 64
b/w illustrations! Experience the subtle energies and rich mysteries that
inspired Celtic artistry. Here they are expressed in a stirring gallery
of color key patterns, zoomorphic designs, and other magical symbols.
With
vivid text that gives historical background, this book recreates portraits
of the saints, border designs, Celtic symbols, and elaborate initials from
the Irish School manuscripts. An essential resource for designers and anyone
interested in the Celts. 106 illustrations, 8 in color.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS
INDUSTRY
The
telecommunications industry goes from strength to strength world wide,
especially with de-regulation opening up most countries to healthy and
cost-cutting competition. The company, for which we are Independent Consultants,
has been so successful since its European start-up in 1998 that it has
now expanded from the UK to Ireland Belgium, and the Netherlands,
with the USA opening in Feb 2002. It plans to expand even further in the
very near future - to:
Australia,
Brazil, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Mexico, and Poland.
If
you, or anyone you know, living in any of these countries would like to
start a home-based business, the opportunities are enormous as this company
is only just beginning and, as Independent Consultants, everyone will be
in at the very ground level. E-MAIL
