Just for a change...

For various reasons I’ve been spending the past couple of weeks working on designs which mostly feature flowers. I’ll get round to posting them eventually, but as most of the designs that I’ve posted recently have been pretty much all floral, I thought I’d try to put up something a bit different, just to make a change

A pair of non-authentic Celtic fish

I’ve always loved Celtic patterns, and in the past have done a lot of Celtic knots and animals of various kinds. This is the result of some experimentation that I did a while back, involving a couple of fish with Celtic interconnections They’re not authentic by any means – just the result of a casual sketch – but I enjoyed doing them and they’ll probably come in handy somewhere, especially in this part of the world where Celtic design is popular

By the way, I might just explain to new subscribers that I don't post free designs every week, and this one isn't free. But I intend to make freebies available more often in future, so keep an eye out for them!

Lovely fish, are they meant to be in that position? I am not familiar with Celtic design.

Maybe you are longing for chocolate, I have been studying the Maya glyphs and the one for cocoa or chocolate is a fish with other parts added to it.

I cannot seem to find the download link.

I love your fish, the colors, the interconnections, and the shapes.

THANK YOU! Im very glad you wrote just now because I have SUCH an embarrassing message to write!

Its about your Christmas card, which I have ONLY JUST NOW discovered! You wont know, of course but we had several weeks of postal strikes in the UK in December, which meant that we didnt receive any mail for two or three week, and then when the strikes were over, we got huge stacks of mail all at once

And then I had to go and fall over and ruin my pelvis and hip, which meant that I couldnt walk or do anything useful for a good many weeks. So all sorts of things got piled up and my poor husband only really paid attention to things like bills and things like that, and personal letters just sort of got ignored

Which meant that I have only now found your lovely card. It was just so touching to see how you had remembered me, and it was painful to realise that you might have thought that I didnt appreciate it

Anyway - THANK YOU! And we can have as many chats about art as you like!

Love from Mia

These little guys are rather interesting. I like them a lot. Your designs are so creative, as usual!
