If you are interested in having this piece or any other as a tattoo on your skin, please email me to (faerywitchart@yahoo.com) and make your request.

 

This picture was born as a comission. Somebody wanted a tattoo combining a celtic knot and the figure of a crow. Those were all the instructions, and after I finished this piece 'It was not what I wanted' was the answer, and even though he liked it, it didn't succeed, so I never ended the process of refinement and polishing. Well, I like it quite a lot, so I post it here. I like how the figure comes out in this version with shading and black background. The crow is a mystical and sacred animal for celts, as well as the symbol of the triskele and knots are magical. Please, if you want this as a tattoo, ask for permission.

Fidj' asked for permission to use and modify my design go here to see how great it looks on him!

There is another tattoo, kind of related to this one here, but is not fantasy enough as to be in Elfwood.

Very pretty job, this is perfectly symmetrical and I love the deatailing!

:-) Constanza Ehrenhaus replies: "thanks! It is not as simmetrical as I wanted... but I learned from this one and did it better in my new tattoo project... coming up soon! 2"

What a lovely picture! I think I understand why your commissioner wanted crows in a triskele form. The crow is the sacred bird of the Morrigan, the three-woman goddess of war, pestilence, and death. She's not evil, but simply a part of life and is highly respected. I could be wrong, but I just wanted to share. Cookies for you!

:-) Constanza Ehrenhaus replies: "That is a very interesting interpretation of it! But he didn't want a triskele, that was my vision of it... he wanted a knot, and didn't really liked that much my artwork."

As you said, it's not completely polished, but I like the design very much ^_^. Nice and stylish!

:-) Constanza Ehrenhaus replies: "thanks a lot!"

Amazing! Absolutely AMAZING. I was on line searching for two different tattoo designs and you have combined it into one and I have successfully completed my search! I would like permission to get this as a tattoo. What do I need to do?

:-) Constanza Ehrenhaus replies: "email me."

I think this is an amazing piece, and its so intricate and dynamic. I really love the silohuettes of the crows, though at first I had mistaken them for doves. You have a talent to make this kind of art, I'd love to see you make more like it./

:-) Constanza Ehrenhaus replies: "Thanks a lot. I am aware that the crows don't transmit as such. The truth is that I never finished polishing this piece so it has some wrong to it. I am planning to go on to make some more knots soon."

Would you mind if i used this as a tat? i'd like to change it up some too.

:-) Constanza Ehrenhaus replies: "Email me with your specific request. I'll answer you in private."

I would like that as a necklace (droollsss.....)

oh, congratulation!

Bows respectfully

:-) Constanza Ehrenhaus replies: "That wouldn't be a bad idea. Maybe when I actually get my own webpage up and going and decide to make a living out of my art that is something to consider."
