Welcome to Di's Studio Designs' RU-vid channel! This is Di here (short for Diane) and I am a dabbler in art, pyrography, faux floral design, home decor, DIY, gardening, writing, and photography...Oh, and yoga to keep me sane! This channel is my way of sharing with you my love of Celtic art, fairy houses and gardens, and seasonal floral decor. You'll get a mixture of videos that include pyrography projects, short tutorials, DIY projects, home decor tips, behind the scenes glimpses, floral design, gardening, houseplant care, and nature walks. My two cats may make an appearance every so often as well. I call them my "work buddies", but honestly I do all the work!
I have watched your videos and some more than once to absorb what you are demonstrating. Thank you for breaking this down into 1 @ a time, and then, you add another section. It is far less overwhelming doing it one small grid at a time. Great work and skillset.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad there are people who want to learn more about this beautiful art style. It's become my passion to share what I have learned over the years, and there's so much more to learn. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to see a specific design. Happy drawing!
Hello again Di! Yes I did see where you were wood burning your platter or bowl with what looked like a castle. Very nice. I look forward to additional tutorials in the future. Great ideas can be had. John
I'm a woodturner, I have some round turning blanks and was thinking of making a 13" platter for the dinner table. The round celtic knot will be just the design to accent such a piece. Thank you very much for your clear and in-depth instructions. Even we woodworkers need help. John

When the thread goes over (or under) the break line it will hit the edge of the grid. You then turn and go to the diagonal (45 degree angle) for your new direction. Round out the corner to create a smooth thread. Hope that helps!

This version is is great up to drawing the circles and the division of sections....ie the grid in circular form. However to draw the knot.....this is not what I would use. Perhaps try the Nichols way on this grid.
If you are referring to David Nichols thank you for the reminder! It's been a while since I watched his videos but here is a link to his technique for drawing the threads...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K6cNg-SGis8.htmlsi=16kzdfH4wzD0ffNW
This is gorgeous, the stippling really looks wonderful on wood and really looks like an inked drawing. I love how fine your linework is and the way the design weaves in a really controlled & fluid way!
Thank you so much for your kind words! One of the things I love about Celtic knots is the intricate linework. I've been experimenting with different techniques for new projects, and I plan to create another video soon with a new design.
Thank you sm! I've always wondered how these sorts of designs were drawn, your style is so clean and fluid. Can't wait to see more from your channel <3

Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching my videos! It's encouraging to know that there is an interest in this type of art and is inspiring me to come up with new ideas for tutorials!

I am having a tough time finding that exact type of plate anymore, but here are a couple links... www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Wood-Crafts-Blank-Surfaces/Shapes/Round-Wood-Plate---Large/p/28561 www.amazon.com/dp/B0BVGMYDWT?coliid=I25NXMWPCPG5WR&colid=TOBDXUO58P44&psc=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=disstudiodesi-20&linkId=44f2355a39f9c4e8cd3432b9b6eaf06f&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl (I am an Amazon affiliate.)
Thanks Di! Unfortunately Amazon US will not ship this item to Australia and is not available from Amazon Australia. I also cannot access Hobby lobby from here. Thanks for your efforts anyway. @@DisStudioDesigns
@@russellball4053 Sorry I couldn't be of more help! You could try local hobby or craft store sites in Australia for unfinished wood plates, wood chargers, or even clock disks.

Thank you for following! Once these crazy holidays are over I'll be making more Celtic art tutorials...although I have one or two I think I will sneak in because I can't resist!
