calligraphy – Page 17 – Anachropsy

On the wall – 1

Some progress in the decorating of my gallery, I’ve just completed the first step.

For the time being we have a fragment from L’Eté by Albert Camus in uncial script and the beginning of Hyperion by John Keats in gothic script.

I’m still wondering which text will be the third one.

More cadels

Two new cadels in the gallery.

This time it’s a T and a Y (click on the letters to see them).

I had to build up the Y from bits out of others initials because it’s quite rare and I couldn’t find an historical one.

9×6

I’m in the process of installing my own gallery and I just hung the nine hexagrams of the I Ching still in my possession.

One can see the reflection of the opposite wall where I started to calligraphy some texts to brighten up the room.

I hope to be able to show more pictures soon and above all to open the gallery with a nice exhibition.

Cadeau III

I really like the “cadeau” initials engraved in zinc. So much that I made one for myself, still inspired by the same manuscript.

I may have kept it a bit too long in the acid bath, it’s very fragile but anyway, I like it very much.

Another cadeau

A new initial, inspired by the same manuscript than the previous one.

This time, it’s an A, click here to see the whole letter.

Cadeau

It has been a long time since I last updated my website but spring is there and gardening takes a lot of my time. Anyway, I found a few hours this morning to create this engraved initial inspired by the ms Rawl. B. 499 from the Bodleian Library.

not really

I told you recently about an embossing I intented to use within a calligraphic work, here is the result.

I’m not happy with it… at all. I’ll have to try something else.

Dress

I told you about a calligraphy on cloth I made last year, to be used as part of a dress.
Here it is.

Ruined hymn

Latest work achieved, a sentence by Emile Cioran.

A star shines on the hour of our meeting

Engraving of this sentence from the Lord of the rings by Tolkien.

I made a bracelet from it, using the original sentence in elvish and the runic alphabet (even if I’m not sure to have totally respected the links between the roman and runic alphabets).
