"Alba" is Scots Gaelic for Scotland.

This is TheAlbaKnot
embracing John & Irma
in eternal love!

Go John & Irma!
An Alba LoveKnot!

We lived in Edinburgh [1975-78] where I went to the Rudolf Steiner School. I thought I was Scottish!

Sometimes I try to make the words and letters easy to read. Other times I try hard to make it confusing - so you have to look and work it out to see it properly.

Chet is wound through the AlbaKnot with Pat in a unified LoveKnot - in love and affection.

Each LoveKnot can take just over two days to complete. It is my sweetest sorrow to see them packed up and ready to deliver.

Like many in the Gaelic nations, I was born with a mass of red hair. Popping freckles as soon as the sun came out. My mum and daughter - too. I loved having red hair back in the day. Tis why I got the name Rustie!

Tying the knot?

There’s no better way to celebrate a marriage or anniversary than with an Eternal LoveKnot.

This is Marie & Brian woven into their own Alba LoveKnot. Nestled. Home.

This was a Christmas gift from Brian to his family - It came with two smaller JoyKnots with the names of their two boys.

I love playing with the letters.

From an early age I was fascinated by typefaces, typography, typesetting and the printing press. I love breaking the rules of typography. I love messing with letters. Some big. Some small.

Intertwining letters is very fun for me.

I like my LoveKnot knots to be green - as this represents nature and growth.

I painted this knot brown. I wasn’t sure if I liked it at first - but I love the way one segment of the knot is turning green. Like Stephen's name is seeping into the knot. Fusing with it. Uniting.
