works in progress

I regularly complain that I don’t have time during the year to work on my calligraphies… It’s even worse during the holidays!
I’m nonetheless share a few “in progress” things with you :

To begin, I continue on my stained glass on slate (which I have already had the opportunity to talk about here for example).

I arrive at the end (more than ten hours of work to foresee) of the engraving of the filigrees, it will be time then to pass to the following stage, rust!

Otherwise, I work on several large letters & monograms, I show you here the preparatory works of the first monogram :

maybe more pictures next week if the work in the garden lets me move on my calligraphies:-)

MC & G

They said yes to each other yesterday and we were there to see that. We had a marvelous day.

Now, I can show you the monogram I made for them.


To see the whole thing, just have a look to the gallery.


And, as one has to dress a bit for a wedding, I made this chain mail tie, quite nice even if a bit heavy 🙂


For my wife’s neck, I chose something a bit lighter, I made her this pendant of slate, engraved with a filigree pattern and gilded with gold powder.


Plexiglas monogram

My first try, as good as the design was, wasn’t deep enough to tool the soaps.
Hopefully, I found an old bit of Plexiglas lying around in the garden so I tried once more, this time using a little milling machine to engrave it.

As the Plexiglas is transparent, this time, I can show you the monogram right side up, it is still an SC.



I think it will do the job this time, I’ll post a pic of the tooled soaps once their maker would have tried this new seal.

And of course, it gave me tons of ideas to work with Plexiglas, to be followed 🙂
