the love dice, to know whether (s)he still loves you (I’ve cheated a bit, there’s a heart engraved on each side).

And an initial V

Happy Valentine’s day to all lovers and all the others !!

I continue with the dedication of my portfolio, Villa Mille Roses.
I’ve just finished the # 15.

I’m not going to show them all but here are two others :

#10

If you want one, hurry up ! Only the five next ones from the first edition will be dedicated 🙂

Initial D

I’ve just finished a new initial with filigrees. Nothing special to say about it, it’s the kind of thing I do whithout even thinking about it now.

Villa Mille Roses – dedications

The first edition of Villa Mille Roses, text by Pascal Aussi, published by Christophe Chomant, is released since beginning of december.
The twenty first copies of it will be dedicated on demand so, if you’re interested, send me an email 🙂

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 ?

Initial

While waiting for inspiration for more ambitious works, I continue with filigrees. This time it is a V and in blue shades to change a bit from the usual B&W.

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.

Walnut stained vine

No time nor inspiration these times to create any calligraphic work but nevertheless itching to use my nibs and a rest of walnut stain at the bottom of a glass…

So here is the result, a small illuminating based on white vine only colored with walnut stain and my loved filigrees to encase it.

For the whole work, have a look at the gallery.
