Orange

A sudden and hopefully temporary mood for color, the O of the orange

Forty

As a birthday card for a friend of mine who will soon reach the stage of 40, a little work with filigrees.

The silhouette of the night – final version

I worked a bit more on the text and here is what I got :

I made the background with acrylic paint, adding a texture with a home made tool. I then cut out the text and embossed a paper in the resulting holes.

And now I find it good 🙂

I’ve been playnig with man hole covers but it’s not enough.
The street is not only man hole covers, it also has pedestrian crossing and asphalt.
So here is my first version of an urban landscape, there will be others as I’m not totally satisfied with this one.

First some close-ups :

And then a view of the whole thing :

Initial D

I’ve just finished a new initial with filigrees. Nothing special to say about it, it’s the kind of thing I do whithout even thinking about it now.

Recycling- continued

Another possible use of drafts is the creation of origami boxes.

That’s perfect for Christmas presents but to know what is in it, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow 🙂

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.

Guest house

A recently finished commission for a guest house.

the front :

and the back :

It was my first work with this special paint used for outside, not easy to deal with, very viscous.

Anyway, the result is not too bad, is it ?

While I thought that I was learning how to live…

I had this small piece of paper and a few hours to spend lately, I took advantage of this situation to calligraphy this short sentence by Leonardo Da Vinci.
I chose to use only black & white, first because I love B&W (in case you didn’t notice) but also because the contrast meets the contrast that exists between the two parts of Da Vinci’s quotation.

Initial C

A recent happy occasion “forced” me to take my nib and to make one of those filigree initials I like so much.
It’s to celebrate the birth of a little girl and after rejecting the pink, I eventually chose the white.
Here is a picture of a part of the initial where one can see the shiny texture of the letter (which I love !).

And another picture which reveals my industrial secret, in other words, the draft 😉
