Puzzled versals

 It is often difficult to find compositions to enhance a short sentence or a single word.
Luckily, there are solutions!

You are a star !

I’m offering a class on puzzle versals and how to use them for small compositions.

It will take place on November 13th & 14th, more information and registration on this page.

And don’t forget, we are all stars!

Swedish challenge

 For those of you who are not on instagram, I am currently participating in a little challenge launched by a group of Swedish women.
It’s about calligraphy words or expressions in Swedish.
Here are my first realizations.

tindra which means “twinkle”

äntligen fredag which means “thanks god it’s friday”

fika for “getting together over a cup of coffee”

The garden of delights

 I call it by this name because of the well-being it provides in exchange for the care we provide but it’s just my garden.

Here is a calligraphic version in NEULAND variations which lists almost all the contents of the place.

And could I do it without filigrees?

Of course not, I even invented some new patterns for the occasion

And, for once, I put, not only color, but GREEN !!!!

Lots of different greens, mixed with red, blue, yellow, brown but still greens.

The scale is not always respected but the layouts and the general shape are.

All you need is …

I have only been posting works related to my online courses recently. I have to admit that it takes a lot of time.
Nevertheless, with Valentine’s Day approaching, I decided to do something a bit different.
Here is a Roman capital decorated with white vine on a support of patinated copper leaf, the whole being made with acrylic paint.
I take this opportunity to wish you (with a little advance), full of love in this new year.

And, if you doubt my ability to realize a patinated copper foil collage, you are right. It is my wife who made it… All I did was to scribble my Roman capital and its associated Vine over it.

All I need is love and a woman who does great things to help me 😉

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

 As Mary Poppins said…

And here is a new version of this beautiful word.

Also, the occasion for me to announce a new online course on Art Nouveau, again based on the lettering of the magazine VER SACRUM.

This course will be online and in English on February 6 and 7, 2021.
