    Technical name for these patterns is “curves of pursuit.” The straight lines are tangent to the curve of pursuit that spirals inward.

    Trump Derangement Syndrome is widespread. The extent of its reach is profound. This is an indication of the vast numbers of people who are being fooled, hoodwinked on a daily basis by the govt/corporate/media cabal and the woke globalist establishment WHO are some of the dumbest people on earth despite some having what you might call an education. It goes to show that propaganda works.

    Well, thanks to you I have yet again taught a 7th and 8th grade art class how to make the Celtic knots and crosses. They loved it! Even the kids who struggled with other art projects were successful with this! When challenged, people rise to the occasion (with a little help from you!). Thanks for sharing these great videos on Celtic design.

    I always use acrylic inks. From different brands. Waterproof, archival safe, documentproof, lightfast, none of them clogg up my dip pens. I like using colour as well, depending on the project. They do clogg up fountain pens. Just clean your dip pens thoroughly. I use some dishwashing soap and a toothbrush. Let them dry thoroughly before storage. I find the non waterproof black ink by w&n watery. I avoid inks containig shellac because they are not vegan friendly.

    By the way - now watching your 3rd video - I have no problem watching videos of an hour or more - I have followed a watercolor artist for years whose videos are one to two hours long - so I do not think you need to limit yourself to five minutes! (but of course you made these long ago so I guess that my advice is moot...) At any rate for whatever you are doing currently, if still providing instruction, please don't hesitate to lengthen videos to your heart's content!

    Well, I watched the "redone" version of your first video, then found the cache of all 21 and wanted to start at the beginning so watched this one too - both are fine, in my opinion, and now I look forward to watching (and trying) every one of them, thanks so much for providing such good instructions and examples! I am just beginning to try this new (old) craft! Thanks again!
