Seeking Fretwork Patterns
CELTIC01
No response from the intended newsgroups so here goes.
Desperately seeking Celtic Fretwork scrollsaw designs! If anyone knows a
supplier or is will to trade then EMAIL me pronto. I am also seeking
contacts with crafts people using Celtic designs.
Geez...as if no one ever heard of it in the Woodworking newsgroup.

I am only interested in exchanging original designs for the simple fact
that is all I create. What I have seen that is available is quite stale
and in most instances not even Celtic. I have tons of that material.

Well, I tried that URL, but that's not even a valid one!!! It took me a
moment to realize the URL should have / not \ . Once I realized the
mistake, I quickly found the home page at <sans the "I", of course>:

Then start looking at the manuscripts yourself. Lindisfarne Gospels
includes many nice examples of step, key, and fret designs. If you
want something "different," then learn to draw the designs yourself.
Or quit complaining (and pay the artists who's work you've just borrowed).

Didn't know I was complaining! I thought I was promoting? Those designs
are stale. More curious about the modern development of such patterns.
BTW I have learned how to draw the designs "meself" and I have payed
myself for borrowing my own work.
BTW How does one pay someone for a pattern when the original artist has
long since left the planet.

The post I replied to was a complaint that you've seen all that before
and it's stale. Sounded like a complaint to me.
>More curious about the modern development of such patterns.
Gack. Most of it looks like 60s psychadelic art with some irish motifs
thrown in. The style is quite popular with the New Age crowd. Since
I wasn't a child of the 60s, I don't appreciate the style at all.
I am considering pulling out my "celtic cat" designs that I've been
playing with. There are plenty of zoomorphics in celtic manuscripts,
but very few cats. The difference between my style and the style I
trashed above is that I spent a long while looking at all the animal
figures I could find, and then drew my cats as close to the medieval
style as I could. A lot of the current artists learned knotwork from
Bain's books, and have no feel for the style used in human and animal
figures.

Good for you. The tone of your post ended up sounding otherwise.
>BTW How does one pay someone for a pattern when the original artist has

You wanted something "modern", yes? Then some artist must have
_recently_ done the piece. And there are plenty of artists who
still draw medieval-style manuscripts as well. Some of the "stale"
stuff you've seen was drawn by modern artists.

Well...thanks for showing me the light. Now point me in the right
direction.
I am still looking for FRETWORK designs for scrollsaw woodworking with
Celtic motifs. I cannot find any with the usual scrollsaw woodworking
suppliers and designers in America. They are still caught up in that
Victorian style that I abhor.

I'm at the point that I will even accept Islamic or Chinese based
scrollsaw designs. Anything but Victorian! I am particularly interested in
very early Islamic designs (POST COPTIC). That period in Islamic art was
heavily influenced by the Irish monks in Egypt.
Will trade original design for original design. If it puts food on your
table then no problem. If it puts a Mercedes in you garage then send me a
photo and give me a call!
