For a commission, I made this monogram with the initials of both parents and those of their children.
I was only allowed to use black, so I used 3, a black from Mars, a ferro-gallic ink & an ivory black. The difference is subtle and does not really appear in the photos. The main thing is that the patrons are happy, right?
Driven by my momentum in my border of filigrees, I composed this J.
Alizarin paint for the letter, a few gilded dots to bring light and a rectangle of filigrees to finish.
After a first course given in French and English (with an Italian translator to complete the picture) in MiroModo, Italy this winter and, in anticipation of other courses of the same type, I decided to compose small panels to identify the preferred language of the trainees I am addressing.
As I only speak French and English, it’s not too difficult to do, here are the first copies.
the reproductions (no, I didn’t compose each copy manually) are less good but still usable, so that you can better distinguish the patterns, here is a better quality version of each side.
Back to paperwork for an initial with filigrees. This is only a detail first because it isn’t finished yet and second because I don’t want to spoil the surprise for the person who will receive it.
I didn’t post a lot lately. Partly because I had no time, partly because I’m lazy and partly because I was busy creating new stuff.
To apologize, I wish you happiness, health and prosperity for this new year.
And, as for a new start, here is a how to create a wish thing with a minimum of material and by recycling daily things.
1- take a lid from a jam pot (or other lid from other pot, beans is also a good choice).
I’ve been quite busy these last ime, preparing my latest exhibition but I didn’t work only on this !
I worked very hard on a new project with quite a lot of text and in a much larger shape than what I’m used to. Until now, I spent about 30 hours working on it, I think I’ve done the most of it. Until I can say it is finished or failed, here is a picture.
