Visual Learner with Math on the BrainFollow

I am what you would call a visual learner in that I think in images most all of the time. This is nice when one is think of an idea for a drawing or painting. There are other times though, that I wish I could just turn it off, so I can get on with my day and not go to bed, finding everything still is seen within the idea, I had earlier that day.

Today my mind was wondering about;

1. Some designs I had seen for needlework, based on Medieval and Tutor designs and
2. How I would like to make my own designs for needlework I want to start soon for costuming.

I Google Celtic Knots and start looking at several interesting sites on how to create Celtic Knots. There is some very technical math, that I won't even try to understand. I begin to wonder if, I'll ever figure out what they are trying to teach, before I discover a great tutorial.

Suddenly the light bulb in my head goes off and I have after some time, with lots of lines pencil in and frequent use of my trusty eraser, a nice 3 colour square Celtic knot worked out on paper.

Time now to put aside my pencils and paper and do something else. I read some posts in forum = 4, make a few comments and talk to my daughters, while picking through the room they have all their junk pile in.

Seeing toys and books that been forgotten, I soon need to cool off and read some more posts, until Jonwin comes home. I had promise to cook the pork chops he had taken out of the freezer last night. Normally we both are so tire that, he ends up throwing together something and if lucky, I'll eat dinner. Funny how I can do nothing all day and be more worn out then he is from work.

Now, it hours since I put my drawing supplies to the side and tried not to look at my drawing, Proud Mommy of new drawing, that I am. But I just can't seem to do anything without somehow it involving knot work in my mind.

How much can playing Solitaire, have to do with how Celtic knots are design? Don't ask, but somehow each move of the cards, seem like I was once again working on some knot design. Knowing me, I'll be creating Celtic knots in my head, as I try to fall asleep tonight.

Rubik's Cube, solved in dream I had. I do a jigsaw puzzle and everything has to be put together like the puzzle I am working on. Learn how to plot a sine wave, and began to see them everywhere. It's enough to drive me nuttier then I currently am and I can't afford more meds.

BTW my commas are place for visual effect, not grammar.

Be my friend always?

Elne, that's really quite cool. And to give you a little bit of background on Celtic knotwork: The ancient Celts believed in a great Knot of Life that binds everything together. That's why they used the knot in all their artwork and architecture, it was a recurring theme that they saw in everything. Sounds like you're seeing it in everything too, much like they did. =D

So envy my memory of a Mike Oldfield Gig where he performed Tubular Bells with Escher's more famous pictures animated (yes, people wandering around the impossible staircases etc etc) on the backdrop. I think Ian Emes did the animation, but it was about 30 years ago, so I may have misremembered.

A freaky freaky experience.
