Celtic Key Pattern Washi Tape Tack Pin

A small square (25mm and about 3mm thick) is carefully wrapped in a bright printed Celtic key or maze pattern in purple, red, and metallic gold. It sits on one edge next to a roll of washi tape with the same pattern against a background of off-white fibrous handmade paper.

Quick 25mm square tack pin made by wrapping a bit of plywood in the new wide Celtic key pattern washi tape.

Celtic Design Fabric

Fabric with an endless pattern of intricate Celtic knots in shades of blue with yellow stars on a darker blue field lying flat with a bright orange-red and bronze 20-sided die with black numbers.

I have been working on a collection of Celtic design fabrics, including several key patterns, a spirals pattern, and now a knotwork design.

The Enchanted Forest

A pop up card made from cutting and folding a single sheet of stock depicts a stag standing framed by the convergence of rows of trees receding into the distance. The branches overhead form whirls and spirals. The background is a green textured paper (momigami) with the white card backlit against it.

A lone stag at the focus of a long forest tunnel of wild trees with spiraling branches is my take on a popular origamic architecture/kirigami pop up card theme.
