This weekend, we celebrated a friend’s birthday. For the occasion, I engraved a small zinc brooch reminding her of her year of birth.
And also some slate triangles to put in her garden.
And as I offered her the engraving of “you are here”, I made another one for my garden.
For those who would still wonder how it is done, here is a little video where I am engraving the slate with my homemade tools
Long time since I posted here, my apologies.
Now that I feel a little bit less lazy, I’ll try to keep you updated on what’s going on in the workshop 🙂
And today, I finished the calligraphy of a song, Alligator 427, from the french singer Hubert Félix Thiéfaine.
I’ve been thinking about it for years (the first drafts are from 2011 !!) and it’s done !
And, as far as I can say, quite well done (I really like it).
I transferred a photograph (paint marks on a sidewalk) on an old zinc plate, etched the title using acid and ended by writing the text in NEULAND script.
