I see a lot of icosahedra with numbers on the faces. I thought I would try engraving one of the wooden ones with those. I didn’t want it to be too plain. So, I made some knotwork to go around the numbers.
🪢 Apocryphal Nubian manuscript (10th, Sudan)
An interlace in Coptic style. It was probably manuscripts from this part of the world that later inspired the Irish monks in their distinctive style.
BeeCycling @beecycling Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to become aggressive and give you a nasty bite. Instead approach the day calmly without making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace If the day shows any signs of resistance to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you.

Finished this a couple of days ago, then promptly forgot to upload it almost everywhere... -_-;
(Spent a lot of time uploading it to my new TeePublic store so ran out of spoons for socials.)
I've been trying to get into nordic knotwork more to make my own stylised stuff. I really enjoy the style and such but wanted a more authentic feel to it as I noticed a lot of celtic influences creeping in.
Also, radial symmetry is just so nice, I just love how it looks. XD
