… on a more important composition, I continue (again & again) with my small filigree letters.
Tag: walnut ink
Like a tune of freedom
recto vs verso
Amor vincit omnia
Love overcomes everything
Virgil said it (not exactly in this form), I hope it’s true.
In the meantime, a little monogram for friends who are going through difficult times.
I stay on letters about 2cm high, mixture of walnut stain and iron gall ink, the heart is gilded with gold leaf, the filigrees are done with iron gall ink.

After a few weeks of doubts, failures and trial and errors, I finally composed a new calligraphy on a text by Guillevic.
I deliver it to you very hot out of the workshop, even if the subject is quite cold 😉
as in the first composition, it was made from walnut stain and iron gall ink, this time with a few gold-leaf dots to lighten and warm up the subject.
