I’m enjoying playing with the Celtic Knot Font . . . I’m coming up with some cool knots.
Yesterday, I tried something different . . .
Ever play with MS WordArt? That’s where you can morph text into various shapes (triangles, trapezoids, arc, circles). Well, what if I took a knot like this:

Do you like it?
So, as a Christmas gift to you, here’s a 20-inch, Two-strand Circular Celtic Knot. You will need Adobe Reader to download it; you can download the Reader here.

WordArt merely takes whatever text you give it and twists it into a new shape . . . this is gonna require more playtime!!
Way cool…had not thought about it for your Celtic knot font…
Thanks, Ed!!
Circles are only the beginning (which isn’t quite right since circles have neither beginning nor end)!! I have more ideas in mind for WordArt Celtic knots . . .
Interesting….going to try it. Thanks for sharing Raymond! I’ll keep checking back on your blog too!
You’re very welcome, Cheryle . . . one of my next projects is to setup my RSS feed, so you don’t have to keep checking back: the new blog posts are delivered to you!!
