I *think* I’ve solved the interlace problem to make a single thread crescent with the central triple spiral the way I see it in my head. Some of the connections are gonna be tight; still need to tweak that a bit, and I’m gonna hafta adjust the spacing some.
But I think it’ll work.

Another knotwork experiment, ended up being a four strand because I was kinda freehanding it, and it’s hard to do the math in your head while you’re drawing it to make the links and crossovers into a single strand. Still, not bad, I think.

Well, here’s the final linework bit. Rougher than I’d hoped, especially in the heart; ended up having to do some patchup with whiteout, so I won’t be doing the color with watercolor like I’d planned. Ah well.

…I can always see the flaws in my work so much clearer than the good stuff.

Hmm. That top section’s gonna be a bit tighter than I’d planned, and the bottom section’s a bit looser, but I’ll find a way to make it work.

Serpent ink finished, starting on the heart. This bit’s a bit more difficult, doing asymmetrical knotwork fills, and working them around a straightline geometric bit. Steady as she goes.

And we’re into the inking phase. Wish me luck.

Okay, so I think I’ve got the basic knotwork scheme down for the heart, and since I’m feeling ambitious, imma try and do the charactiri thing from the AKEPHALOS rite in the key pattern style. Because why not? Ambition is only a crime if you fail, right?

Yeah, I’m gonna hafta transfer the plan over to a fresh sheet once I get the whole knotting scheme worked out, but it’s coming along. Now if I only had more than a half hour a day to work on this stuff, I’d be golden…

Stage One. Since Inktober’s over now, I’m gonna be letting myself do more multi-day projects. And this is gonna be one of them. More tomorrow.
