The Celtic Construction Kit
Celtic Knot Clipart

The Celtic Construction Kit can best be described as Celtic "Lego" blocks for your computer. It is the only vector based Celtic design aid available on any system, including Microsoft's Windows and the Apple Macintosh.

Now, designers can easily create elaborate Celtic fretwork, step patterns, and knotwork for tattoos, jewelry, embroidery, cross-stitch, woodworking, desktop publishing, WWW graphics and other artistic and craft purposes.

Designs can be easily exported to any Windows image processor that has a PostScript (vector), GIF, PCX or BMP import filter.
