Vines and Whorls from the Anglo-Saxons

Last month I wrote a bit about my obsession with curving vines and acanthus leaves.  Someone at the British Museum must have heard my cry, and just posted this about how to decode (and thereby reuse!) the complicated knots and whorls of Anglo-Saxon art.  The British Museum being the foremost holder of such treasures, not surprisingly.

For your summertime projects, I offer this:

And I hope it excites you as much as it did me.
