…alas, and I read all the books
Fragment of a poem by Mallarmé realized on a page of a dictionary (the book par excellence).
And, to be a little in my era, I calligraphed these verses with a palette pen by reinterpreting a typeface, the COURIER NEW whose spaces are somettimes bad and which still are in my interpretation.
The whole was calligraphied in Payne’s grey and, for decoration, a little bit of watercolor with some white and ultramarine blue.
First attempt at soapstone carving.
It is really very easy to work, the difficulty lies more in the fact of not making marks when manipulating the piece as this stone is very soft.
The stone is about 4cm high and no, it is not the beginning of an alphabet but simply the initial of my wife’s first name and mine.
I was recently telling you about things clams have to say and insisted on the fact that it wasn’t really enunciated sayings.
I first received some protests which were not really convincing.
My workshop on embossing approaches fast, time for me to review the basics.
I’m also doing some researches on knotworks based on triangle patterns and not on the regular square ones. The result is this little knotwork embossed on watercolor paper.
