The night

After a first version with a too deep black, here is a much more interesting version of this poem by Guillevic written in iron gall ink.

carolingian script etc

Long time since my last post. It's because I'm preparing for the next workshop.

Working on my carolingian script

Let's not try not to stain ourselves anymore

After the shorts, here is the t-shirt I had managed to stain I don't know how (red paint spots on the back).



There, the stains have disappeared :-)

Back to work

The students at Rendez-Vous 2019 in Canada were so fond of my little initials that I no longer have a single one.
Time to redo (for the umpteenth time) a small alphabet in advance of the medieval festival this weekend.

I am far from finished....

ABC...Embossing...XYZ

When I returned from Canada yesterday, I couldn't resist the paper offered to me by Cynthia, one of my students, and I went back to my work desk.
A very beautiful handmade paper, very flexible, what else can I do but emboss it?

Impatient, I didn't take the time to find a text that could have taken place on this page, I just made an alphabet inspired by the NEULAND script.





And as I had to be able to discreetly add my signature, as there was still a lot of space at the bottom of the sheet, I made some filigrees (yes, I am an addict, but you already knew that).
