Initial – Page 3 – Anachropsy

Colors

A for grey, J for blue, R for walnut and S for red: -)

and then a few more with only walnut and iron gall ink

I am very happy, there is an article dedicated to my work is featured in the last issue of Bound & Lettered, an American magazine published by John Neal.
In addition to many illustrations & explanations of my work in general and in particular on filigrees, you will find there the pictures of the different steps of the letter E I was telling you about earlier and that is now finished !

Initials

Again & again …

More initials

I’m finishing to rebuild a complet set of initials, and I vary a little bit the colors…

Back to walnut stain

New initials, I leave blue for a while and return to walnut stain and iron gall ink.

Want some more ?

Because there are still some 🙂

And I’m currently working on another letter, a bit larger (3cm high), with 2 colors & a bit of gold but you’ll only see this “work in progress” version for the time being

More & More

That’s no supposed to be the meaning of this monogram but, until the people concerned reveive it, that will be it.
So there is a little MM monogram

blue, grey & 2 M

Need for blue

and for little initials

It’s sometimes difficult to find new shapes for letters but this time, I’m quite happy with the Q

I’s has been a long time

So here are a few little filigrees 🙂

I love M

Another filigree initial and another M.
It seems that the people who commission me to write initials all have names beginning with the same letter.
A bit tired of using the Lombard form, I opted this time for an older form, inspired by the ms. 0202 of the Mazarine library (12th century).
