I missed these little ornaments.
So I’m very happy to show you my latest inital, an L, 4cm in height.
Gold leaf, watercolor & walnut ink on watercolor paper.
And, if this one is already sold, there are a few new ones in the online store if you are interested (not to mention that if you want one that is not listed, I take commissions).
To change my mind a bit, I just made a small gilded versal on a pebble.
The patterns are inspired by those found in a 12th century manuscript and I will teach the construction of this kind of initials (but not on a pebble) in March 2023 in an online course in English that will be broadcasted by the gentle penman
Here are two small letters just out of the workshop.
I am reinterpreting the filigree puzzles as I will present them at the Abbey of Maredret during a workshop organized by Interligne in March 2022.
Here we read the first name in the cut of the vertical shaft of the letter, with gilding for the counter shape of the final E.
And here I am having fun with a flower shape that comes to “eat” the letter and decorate it at the same time with copper leaf gilding.
