The Rose Labyrinth grows...
Greetings!
I have now finished the first stage of lining in of the whole design: labyrinth, knotted forest and creator \ guardians! Stage two is putting tram-lines into the knots (which are themselves extensive). This has to be done with a very fine pen. I'm using a 0.05 mm. A steady hand, good light and more than a touch of madness is required. Tram-lines really do complete the knotwork - adding form and density. Whoever invented them was a true artist! As I work steadily and methodically around the forest its true form is revealed.
To follow the story of this design please read the previous entries... More soon - including a photo!
