Free-hand sketch, not an exact copy of the Oseberg ship shape, I just made it like I wanted it to be...

Here is one of those weird questions: Is it possible for a non-norn to learn the skill of viking knotwork (not even sure if this style has a name)?
I've always had an interest in celtic and viking decorative works, but never found a way of learning how to draw it up.
Also I don't want to be classified as one of those people who get labelled a copyist becuase I'm australian. So I don't want to offend the art style by learning this technique and using in my upcoming works.
Can't say I have the skill of designing viking knotworks, I merely copied the motifs from this book [link] .
However, there exist many books teaching (usually celtic) knotworks... (I don't have any of them, only this one [link] but haven't done anything with it yet).
I guess a way of learning it, is to start by copying, then identifying the features and try doing some...
I guess if I try and learn both styles, applying the technique to my own style as it develops, I could come up with something that is different yet without stepping on the traditionalist's toes.
I guess if I take your Avatar image as an example, if I can come up with something for myself like that, and place it as my Avatar, then I can test what people think.
Thanx again for the tips, links and help, much appreciated.
What's you next plan (carving) going to be?

Most likely it will be some kind of an animal head, but we'll see, before that I still have a little piece to finish on this one.
