filigree – Page 18

Stained glass

Back from Coulon where I spent a marvellous week in Gérard Guerry’s workshop, I can show you my latest work.
As it wasn’t very convenient to bring all the mandatory materials for engraving/etching, I went back to work on paper.

It’s the structure of a stained glass window from Saint Hilaire church in Niort, embossed with carbon paper. I finished it by filling the pattern with my unavoidable filigrees 🙂

electro-jam

Now that I have a power supply fitted for electro-etching, I have to learn how to use it. So I’m trying different powers and materials. Nothing worth showing for the moment, except for the lids of jam pots which make very good medium 🙂

another 40

The problem when you are 40 is that a lot of your friend are too 🙂
Third birthday card on the topic, I’m starting to miss inspiration 😉

I have to say that I still use the same standard technics, ferro-gallic ink & wallnut stain, filigrees, … does not help

40

Back to paper and, almost compulsorily, back to filigrees.
A small Birthday card for a friend who just got 40.

Walnut stain and ferro-gallic ink on paper.

It was far too easy, I got to find new challenges or I will soon get back to my engravings on slate/metal.

Only throw angels to devils

As promised, a picture of one of the works done during the exhibition in Coulon.

It’s a sentence by Paul Eluard, written with pigments and gum before being decorated with … surprise … filigrees 🙂

Coffee

Play on filigrees around coffee stains.

There’s something to get out of these. To be followed …

Orange

A sudden and hopefully temporary mood for color, the O of the orange

Forty

As a birthday card for a friend of mine who will soon reach the stage of 40, a little work with filigrees.

bookmarks

A little set of bookmarks made last year to thank people I worked with.

Each item is 4cm large.

Filigree power

I introduce a new design of decorated initials. Around the skeleton of the letter, I organize the decoration and then review the drawing of the letter for it to match the shape of the filigrees. It has something of stained glass pattern and above all a taste of decadent gothic, I like it 🙂
