calligraphy – Page 14

Last chance before disappearance

I invite everyone of you to came and have a look to the mural in my gallery on friday, december the 14th from 6PM.
It will be the last chance to see it as, from 7PM the same day, every person will be asked to participate in its erasure (paint, roller and protective clothing supplied).

I hope you will be numerous to join this event 🙂

Nibelungenlied

At last, I’m done with the “first adventure” of the Nibelungenlied. In addition to the calligraphy in gothic fraktur script, I wrote the title into runes, partly engraved on zinc and partly embossed.

As I was saying in my previous message, I’m quite satisfied with it 🙂

And as the picture is a bit small, you can get à look at two closeups here and there.

Almost

Amost done with my latest work.

Just have to clean some parts and to wait for good natural light to be able to show you the whole tihng.

I can already tell I’m quite happy with it 🙂

Runes

To decorate a text, I started to engrave the title using a runic script.

It’s only a fragment, I will mix engraved bits with embossed ones, I hope the result will be worth it.

Next steps coming soon …

If you want peace …

Having started to thin out the leaves from the book entitled “Instruction du 1er janvier 1923 sur les grenades à l’usage des troupes de toutes armes” for a work on a poem by Léo Ferré, I’m left with a load of unused leaves which content is quite martial.
I decided to take advantage of this to work on the famous sentence : “Si vis pacem, para bellum”.

Guest house

A recently finished commission for a guest house.

the front :

and the back :

It was my first work with this special paint used for outside, not easy to deal with, very viscous.

Anyway, the result is not too bad, is it ?

While I thought that I was learning how to live…

I had this small piece of paper and a few hours to spend lately, I took advantage of this situation to calligraphy this short sentence by Leonardo Da Vinci.
I chose to use only black & white, first because I love B&W (in case you didn’t notice) but also because the contrast meets the contrast that exists between the two parts of Da Vinci’s quotation.

Wedding

This week-end, among other things, I got married.
I didn’t have much time to make the most of my calligraphy skills but I nevertheless did some little things.

My tie clip

The wedding box

The borders of the table clothes

It has been a magical moment and I thank everyone who was there (even just by thought) to celebrate this turning point in our life.

NEUNEULAND – the model

I did promise to post the model of NEULAND script I reworked to write the poem Des Armes by Léo Ferré.

It is now available in the resources section of the website.

VAE SOLI

A coming event will require that I wear a tie. I already did a few times and there are plenty of how-to on the web explaining the making of the knot so I’m not too stressed.

Being aware of the existence of the tie clip, I decided to make my own one to avoid potential issues while eating, here is the result.

I chose a short quotation from the Ecclesiastes, written in runic alphabet and engraved on a plate of zinc.
