This were the last words said by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
And, during this period of the year (at least in the Northen part of the world), that’s something we can say every day 🙂
Here is a lettered version with gouache and gold leaf on hemp paper. The letters are 1.7cm high (except the M & the H of course).
Here are two small letters just out of the workshop.
I am reinterpreting the filigree puzzles as I will present them at the Abbey of Maredret during a workshop organized by Interligne in March 2022.
Here we read the first name in the cut of the vertical shaft of the letter, with gilding for the counter shape of the final E.
And here I am having fun with a flower shape that comes to “eat” the letter and decorate it at the same time with copper leaf gilding.
Today is my wife’s birthday.
As I didn’t know what to give her, I started to create a new currency (kisses) and I started with a big banknote, 1 million !
Cashable only with me and in nature 🙂
The photo is printed (yes, I know, I should have done it by hand but that’s one of the many things I don’t know how to do).
Gold leaf for the control strip and the dot of the i, embossing for the number, everything else is done in watercolor, different dilutions of Payne’s grey.
Well, here it is again.
2 small filigree initials to announce an upcoming online course on the subject.
It will be on August 21 & 22, 2021, online and in English.
Registration here.
The letters are 2cm high, the A is in walnut stain, the C in watercolor and the dots are gilded with gold leaf.
