The second of a two-piece series playing with more knotwork. The dragonfly wings were a challange because they are much more transparent then butterfly wings.

Watercolor on Paper, 14" X 9"

What's wrong with you people?! No Comments?! *First comment limbo done with a peacock while balancing a rather large cantaloupe on head.* Both of your pictures with the fairies and celtic knots are amazing! I'm currently trying knots for myself, so you inspired me! Thanx! Nice knot work!

Your knot is so well done! Letting my imagination go, the lower part of the knot resembles a cermonial skull. Great art!

Another nice faery, but the other one (blue) is better ^_^

wow both your celtic knot faries are incredible...i try doing knot work like that but it just dosnt work for me...you must have incredible patients to do that...i'd never be able to be patient long enough to do it...too many distractions around my house...i'd love to see more knot work....my signature is a star and it's sort of in the celtic knot style...anyway i absoutly LOVE these

I think it would be cool if you had brought some of the color..the red of her hair and the flesh tone..down into the knot itself, and kind of fade into the blue more gradually. That would make it feel more complete to me. Also, i think her hands are just a touch too small. This is a really unique picture and it's really well done, good job! =)

Hey, that's a great concept, and very well rendered, the colors are working well together, and i especially like her wings. Love it^^

Not quite as good as the other one, but still incredible. Your talent has yet to stop amazing me. Most of the people who draw fae on here I want to strangle for their portrayals, but this I love.
