Miracle

A verse by Walt Whitman to tell you that I love his poetry.

And also that I have scheduled a course on lettering.

Not just any lettering, no. Ferret lettering!

Well, okay, it’s just my own version of lettering but it’s still pretty nice, isn’t it?

So, there’s a course in person and in French in my workshop beginning of July, details here.

An online and in English course, still in July, info & registration here

And an online and French version in September, info & registration there.

Filigrees and puzzle

Here are two small letters just out of the workshop.
I am reinterpreting the filigree puzzles as I will present them at the Abbey of Maredret during a workshop organized by Interligne in March 2022.

Here we read the first name in the cut of the vertical shaft of the letter, with gilding for the counter shape of the final E.

And here I am having fun with a flower shape that comes to “eat” the letter and decorate it at the same time with copper leaf gilding.

Happy birthday !!

Today is my wife’s birthday.

As I didn’t know what to give her, I started to create a new currency (kisses) and I started with a big banknote, 1 million !

Cashable only with me and in nature 🙂

The photo is printed (yes, I know, I should have done it by hand but that’s one of the many things I don’t know how to do).

Gold leaf for the control strip and the dot of the i, embossing for the number, everything else is done in watercolor, different dilutions of Payne’s grey.

Blue circle

I had a leftover blue, so I took a piece of paper and filigree. The circle in the center  is about 2.5cm in diameter.

And I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you that there are still a few places left for the online course on filigree that will take place this weekend. During this course we will discuss the elements present in this little realization.
