works in progress

I regularly complain that I don’t have time during the year to work on my calligraphies… It’s even worse during the holidays!
I’m nonetheless share a few “in progress” things with you :

To begin, I continue on my stained glass on slate (which I have already had the opportunity to talk about here for example).

I arrive at the end (more than ten hours of work to foresee) of the engraving of the filigrees, it will be time then to pass to the following stage, rust!

Otherwise, I work on several large letters & monograms, I show you here the preparatory works of the first monogram :

maybe more pictures next week if the work in the garden lets me move on my calligraphies:-)

Filigree carpet

I (painfully) advance on my filigree composition.

I must have done about half of it, in 15 hours…
I may have seen a little big, or I may be filling in a little small 😀

And as one has to warm up when taking the pen, I do little things each time before continuing on the big composition.

For example, a flower design that I invented a few years ago but that I’m never tired of reproducing.

Filigrees, the comeback

Long time I haven’t told you about filigrees here, I’m sure you miss it 😉

A little work in progress, on a cardboard that my wife previously used to make frame patinas.

I left the nib to play with an acrylic marker, here is a short video of a part of the process

and I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I am organizing a workshop dedicated to filigree learning in Paris on July 21 & 22. You can find all the information in the agenda.

Back to text

2nd draft (and not the last one) of a bit from a theater’s play.

I still don’t know what materials or technic I’m gonna use for this work. If everything goes well, you’ll get an update this week & you’ll know everything about it before the end of the year.
