Happy Burns Night everyone! This is my sidewalk chalk drawing for Burns night. 

Sidewalk of Knots by C.nick

Sidewalk of Knots

So this is my Celtic knotwork done with sidewalk chalk, charcoal and soft pastels. I got a book about Celtic knots at the library and decided that a sidewalk would be the perfect place to practice this art form. I found that it was very open regarding space and let me think about manging space in ways that were different than how I manage it on paper. It took about three evenings to create and there was a minor mishap with water but for all that it turned out really well.
