'Celtic Confusion' (Phase 2) by Shane Wilson (Moose Antler Carving)
May 21, 1998 Categories: Celtic Confusion
The design is finished.
I began by drawing in pencil the outlines of the "ribbons" in way which seemed pleasing and used the full surface area of the antler. At this point there were many overlapping lines and it looked a little confusing.
I then dealt with each section and made decisions about which ribbon would cross over, under or pass through the middle. I then erased the lines for the ribbons which crossed under or passed through. Slowly the pattern emerged and began to take on a 3-D look.
Finally, I shaded in all the areas that will be cut out and then considered the overall design for balance, proportion and interest.
