Shhhh.... this is just between us ;-)

I have this really spiff bookmark that was brought back from Ireland as a
gift. It is a laser cut piece of brass, showing the two Celtic men entwined.
The lines are no wider than 1mm. and is surprisingly intricate for it's size.

Scribally speaking.....It is a laser cut template that I use for some really
quick knotwork. To do the same piece using the grid method would take me 2-3
hours.

I also have used it when teaching knotwork classes (to both children and
adults). It's a great way to restore confidence in those who just cannot grasp
the methods of drafting just yet. It also makes a quick piece for adults to
paint with period pigments, so they have something to take home with them.
