To add a little something to my rose window pattern on slate, I engraved a short sentence by Blaise Pascal.
I wrote the text with my little chisel, using it as a nib. The engraving is not very deep but it is visible enough.

Slate
A bit tired of working on white vine for two weeks now, I rest a little with this engraving of a slate plate with a stained glass pattern.
I built the pattern by mixing elements from the gothic period, which doesn’t mean that it does not exists somewhere in the real world. If you know about it, please let me know, I’ll be happy to see it.
And I just don’t have a clue about what I’m going to do with it once finished, maybe a table mat ?
Stained glass
Back from Coulon where I spent a marvellous week in Gérard Guerry’s workshop, I can show you my latest work.
As it wasn’t very convenient to bring all the mandatory materials for engraving/etching, I went back to work on paper.
It’s the structure of a stained glass window from Saint Hilaire church in Niort, embossed with carbon paper. I finished it by filling the pattern with my unavoidable filigrees 🙂

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.
