The Celtic Knotwork Construction Kit can best be described as Celtic "Lego" blocks for Inkscape. With simple flips and rotates of basic elements, new and complex knotwork panels can be created. Basically an Inkscape symbol library to create Celtic Knotwork panels for crafting, desktop publishing and 3d design/printing. This is not a font. It is actual vector based objects that can be manipulated in many ways in Inkscape to create very complex designs. It is intended for crafter/makers that need precision in their designs. Includes step and key pattern design aids, design notes, Fusion 360 tips, and sample files. Sample files(5 MB) include knotwork chains, corners, crosses, borders, and nets. Updated 2024-11-08
In the 1950s and '60s, Akira Yoshizawa proposed a system of diagramming. He introduced its diagramming notation in his first published monograph, Atarashi Origami Geijutsu (New Origami Art) in 1954. He employed dotted and dashed lines to represent mountain and valley folds, and a few other symbols such as the “inflate” and “round” symbols. This system caught the attention of Samuel Randlett and Robert Harbin, who added a few symbols such as “rotate” and “zoom in”, and then adopted it as the standard. The Yoshizawa–Randlett system was first described in Samuel Randlett's Art of Origami in 1961.[1] It was then accepted as the default throughout the international origami community and is still in general use today.
