I liked the French knot technique so much that I started looking for inspiration in my art books and then online for doing up another one. There isn't much around concerning abstract art, and it takes a really good artist to pull it off. I was fortunate enough to find one, so I wrote to her explaining what I wanted to interpret her art for and she has given me permission to use her art as the basis for this project.
Her name is Angela Porter and she is from Wales. I found her page at DeviantART under the name "Artwyrd" and my jaw just dropped with delight, she does some wonderful work. She also has a web site and does textile art and jewellery as well as artwork in pencil, pen and ink, pastels, oils, and watercolour.
This is Angela's original art Kandinsky Inspired 3 and my circular version, that I adapted after spending some time fiddling in Photoshop. I just LOVE this piece of art. I will go away for a few days and come back to and it always fascinates me. Many thanks Angela for understanding what I wanted to do and how inspiring I find your work. Not all artists are like that in my experience.
