knitting
Winter is coming. I know spring has just begun but, winter is coming.
I consequently decided to get myself to knitting. As I just can’t cope with needles and wool, I opted for steel and copper so as to make myslef a scarf for winter (cos it’s coming !!).
Circles
weekend report
An ill apple tree cut, 20 m² of ground digged, 5 rose bush and an orange tree transplanted, lots of other maintenance works in the garden… To make it short, I spent all my weekend in the garden.
But, as I woke up early, I found time to etch a new cadel initial, inspired by the same manuscript as the previous one (Basel, Universitätsbibliothek, AN II 3).
Cadel initial
Spring is coming and my garden requests all of my time, so no time to do calligraphy. But, surfing on the web, I came accross a manuscript with quite a lot of cadel initials and could not resist. So here is a new cadel initial, inspired by the Basel, Universitätsbibliothek, AN II 3, an initial P, as usual, acid-etched on zinc.
Know thyself
An umpteenth version of this sentence engraved on the Oracle’s temple in Delphi : Know thyself.
work in progress
Just to prove that I’m still working, even if (or maybe because) I don’t post a lot on this blog.
Here is a pic of my latest work, still in progress and far from being finished.
Limits
A new work, etching again but this time acid-etching on zinc.
It’s a sentence from the play Morts Sans sĂ©pulture by Jean-Paul Sartre.
I wanted to have a gash between the beginning of the sentence and the last words, I consequently had to keep the plate in the acid for quite a long time, resulting in holes in other parts of the plate.
Knotwork
I already told you about the embossed version of this knotwork, based on a triangular pattern. Here is the etched zinc version.
