Design : A Beginner's Manual Aidan Meehan / Paperback / Published 1991 |

It was written as a companion to the first volume, which covers all the other forms of Celtic Design in equal depth and with comparable style, except knotwork, which obviously required a volume all to itself, namely, "Celtic Design: Knotwork, the Secret Method of the Scribes". - Aidan Meehan (aidan@celtic-art-coracle.net) |
