Celtic Knots

Celtic knots are highly stylized illustrations of interweaving bands.
I became interested in Celtic knots after viewing a video showing how to draw them by hand. The technique begins with dots laid out on a square grid. Barriers are then added to the grid which form the outer border of the knot, as well as internal deflections.
