Corpses of cities
At last, I’m done with the calligraphy of Giovanni Papini‘s short story, Corpses of cities.
I used most of my favourites techniques to do this job and I must say that I’m quite happy with the result.
Embossing on carbon paper
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”.
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.
Poem by Léo Ferré
As I told you last week, I’ve been working on the poem Des Armes by Léo Ferré and it’s now finished.
I started with a collage of leaves from a book found at a secondhand bookseller which title is “Training of the 1st january 1923 on the grenades for use by troops from any army”, I found it would make a perfect background for this poem which title could be translated into “Weapons”.
I eventually added the text, using a revisited NEULAND, I will soon post a model of it for those who would like to follow me.
Till then, to see the whole work, have a look in the gallery.
The Flies – final version
