Celtic Design

For my first entry for 3D design I decided to highlight Celtic art, more specifically, High Crosses. Being both of Irish and Scottish descent I am very much interested in my heritage. I've always admired how beautiful Celtic art is because it is so intricate and unique.

A lot of Celtic art features the knotwork known as a Celtic knot.
