3 Construct the Norse knotwork frame

Of course I could just paint this Valhalla scene as a full-page art that goes over the whole page, but I wanted to make it special with this extra decorative element. So in this step I am working on the Norse knotwork frame. The first stage is to make the shape of the frame, with spaces/boxes for knotwork. That way I can know exactly where I’ll construct them. With knotwork there is no place for faking – everything is visible, especially mistakes. I also input a Vikings helmet, axe and sword into the border.
