It seems I can’t switch to another color lately.
And the stained-glass window I did a while ago made me want to go back to those patterns.
This time, I “invented” a small rosace, embossed and then filigreed.
The embossing is less elaborate, but it remains a small (8 cm in diameter) and pleasant realisation.

Gravity, give it back to the weight of the earth…
Fourth and last version of my fragment of Rainer Maria Rilke’s Sonnets to Orpheus that I was telling you about here.
The first inked version does not satisfy me so I changed for an intaglio lettering for the original version and a very small and elongated version for the French translation.
All this is done on watercolor paper, iron gall ink and Prussian blue.

Genesis
My version of Genesis, in computer language (php) and in colors (as in my code editor), with the result displayed.
First, connect to server caelum (the sky) with username Moyses and password rubusarderet (burning bush) to access the database genesis.
If the connection fails, the system displays a fragment of an epigram of Martial: There is no god, the sky is empty.
Otherwise, we look for Genesis images and display them in ascending order.
If this step fails, a fragment of the Vulgate text will be displayed: terra est inanis et vacua.
The text and symbols are inspired by NEULAND with the introduction of uncial forms of abbreviations and ligatures.
Then there are the images, in iron gall ink, of the different days:
separation of light and darkness
separation of upper and lower waters
separation of land and water and creation of plants
creation of the moon, the sun and the stars
creation of birds and fish
creation of animals and man
rest

Initials, next step
Commission
Not being able to give my classes, I nevertheless continue to work.
And a charming lady from Canada was kind enough to order some small letters with filigrees.
Here are the first ones, there will be more!
If you, too, would like to buy a letter, a monogram, on paper, on parchment, on metal, etc, don’t hesitate to contact me 🙂
