Getting KNOTTY - original art with Celtic knots by @merej99
It's true. I spent the better part of the day on this KNOTTY thing.
I must admit I'm a little obsessed with Celtic knots and my goal is to perfect them!
but this is how it really should be presented.
I used a ruler and compass to sketch it out - but when it came time to tracing it, I took a pen to it and my beautiful straight lines and curves suffered, which prompted the effect of a strong outside border.
And here I am with the final piece.
Your comments, upvotes and shares are always appreciated.
Thank you.

"Fill your bowl to the brim
and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife
and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench.
Care about people's approval
and you will be their prisoner.
Do your work, then step back.
The only path to serenity."}
~ Lao Tzu - I through I recognized the quote. :)
Mayhap I need a bigger cup, and instead of a knife, a paintbrush. My heart is open to the universe and all its possibilities, and my joy is chasing bliss. But I will work hard and endeavor to die with no regrets.
bigger cup, no doubt, start putting out decent work please,
I beg you
You're so sweet!
There you go, now your cup is overfloweth :) my 8 year old child can do that,
but yes, great art!!!!! great art!!!!!

@james83501 - thank you! I just visited your profile and left a message on your introduction post. Welcome to Steemit! I'm looking forward to your creations in whatever form they take :)
Thank you. I caught that reply. I like your work : )
Hi Mere,
Also, since I am just really starting, and we all need a helping hand, I am going to start, daily, looking at the Blogs of my Followers, finding things I like that are over one day old and less than a month old, then upvoting them and resteeming them. I would ask you to do the same for me. This way, we all get continual exposure. That is what we all need, right? I am staring today. I will look at your Blog and resteem and upvote the ones I like.
I highly recommend you get over to http://steem.chat
There are some great rooms to help self-promote and do a little meet & greet with the other members.
And here's just a personal recommendation from me - and you can take it or leave it - but use the resteem button with care. I consider myself a content curator but I also like to leave comments and not just blindly upvote. That being said, if I see a blog page full of other people's post and have to dig for your content, chances are I will not follow that person. but that's me I cannot speak for anyone else. :)
I'll be posting my 90 day experience next week - keep an eye out for it. it will touch on a lot of things that you may find helpful, but feel free to drop me a message any time! ~ Mere
I am not one to just upvote or resteem either. Notice I said "the posts I like" which means to me, one's that deserve to be seen. I resteemed one thing from every one of my followers today, however, there are only a handful interested in doing that, so i maybe have 4-5 committed folks to look at, and resteem only what I like most...maybe you misunderstood me. Anyway, thank you for your advice.
I don't think I misunderstood. I was just expressing a cautionary opinion about resteeming and how I've seen it over used. It's a powerful tool and can be very useful but it can also overshadow your own content. Hopefully the next hardfork will have the option of hiding resteems from your personal blog page and keep them on a separate tab. :)
meticulous, sure :) sloppy as shit, check the circles in the last picture:
is that meticulous?
tsk, tsk, @walden - please focus on me. I need you, darling.
ok, would you allow me to help you learn how to use a compass?
Ya, but freehand??? Nice looking!
As I said, very nice art merejjjjj
You are really kind, @walden. And I do really appreciate you posting and being so engaged here.
Hi, it looks really nice, I've spent the last 2 days on my most recent post. I still think its crazy that you do it by hand no photo shop, I would go crazy doing it like that, I'm so used to the software there's no going back for me. great job!
And thanks for the tips you've given me.
You know, @joechez - I've actually got one friend who has paperwork that states he's sane. I have no such paperwork which must mean I'm probably batshit crazy. LOL
Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I'll be looking for your stuff on my feed. :)
you want an example of sloppy? check the juxtaposed circles in the third picture..... thats sloppy as shit, good night
You too have a wonderful night, love. Sweet dreams.
You too Merej, have a great night
Awesome alchemy symbol!
it looks fantastic Meredith, It was time well spent.
Fun!
