SciFi and Fantasy Art Celtic Knot Hair Ring by Jill Johansen


	I drew one of these ladies with the wild hair, then it dawned on me that they could form a circle! so that's what I did, and I decided to make each of them represent one of the 4 elements, earth air fire and water.

20 Apr 2006	Kyrihé Christine	Loading... I was looking through a goggle image search for some interesting Celtic knots that I could mimic onto the top part of a vase I'm making in my ceramics class as part of a theme project. I really liked the way you have the elements used in this. Knot work has always fascinated me, I'm glad there are people who make it look so beautiful and modern, thanks for giving me an idea to use on my own project.
23 Jul 2006	Karissa	Loading... I've been searching for something elemental to use in a quilt for the baby I hope to have. This artwork is exquisite! I don't suppose there's any way for me to get this piece on 4' x 4' of fabric? I don't want to have a shop copy your work without giving you credit - but it's important to me to incorporate my beliefs and way of life into my child's surroundings.
17 Aug 2006	Dragothetorchered	Loading... I love it i really do but i belive theres is 5 in some cultures the 5th being metal
3 Sep 2006	Monica Volcanokitten Figgé Jensen	Loading... Very cool design It must have taken ages to make all those knots.
10 Dec 2006	Key	Loading... It's really cool but they're in the wrong places. Earth represents north, fire - south, air- east and water west.
23 Feb 2007	Jared	Loading... I love this piece thanks for posting it
15 Sep 2007	Bec	Loading... speechless that is the best knotted hair i have ever seen!!
21 Dec 2007	Anonymous	Loading... it's beautiful, regardless of unconventional placing of the elements. I'm a medieval british and irish scholar, so i understand the history there. but living in the east coast of australia this makes a lot of sense - fire to the west where the desert is; water to the east and the sea; tasmania's pretty lush and green; and north - europe and icy icy windy cold (big generalisation, I know). I know it's not a perfect schema but my point is this is a modern take on a Keltic design and so doesn't really need to be bound by tradition or place. especially not in a fantasy gallery. Good work Jill
15 Feb 2009	GUESS WHO	Loading... I DONT LIKE IT BECAUSE OF THE FOUR HEADS
16 Sep 2010	Y.C.	Loading... Before that I’ve read your comment I was thinking about the four season with air to winter water to spring earth to summer and fire to autumn nice work =)
