Fame !!

I am very happy, there is an article dedicated to my work is featured in the last issue of Bound & Lettered, an American magazine published by John Neal.
In addition to many illustrations & explanations of my work in general and in particular on filigrees, you will find there the pictures of the different steps of the letter E I was telling you about here and that I finished !

You can order the issue of the magazine from the following link: 17.1

Primer - the cover

Okay, it's the third post in a row on the blog about this primer but it's also been almost 3 weeks that I've been working on it without stopping.
And so here is the first somewhat finished version of what will be the cover.

Primer - next steps

I am slowly moving forward with the primer project I was talking about earlier.
I do the alphabet from each side, it's nicer than doing it in order.

Primer - the A

Tired of only doing small letters, I asked the help of my friend Pascal Aussi to create a primer.
So he selected words that appeared in his songs, and I' m in charge of putting them on the page.
Today, the first letter with the word "Arbre" (Tree).

As usual, the initial is about 2 cm high.

Initials

Again & again ...

Slate in progress

From time to time, it is necessary to free yourself from paper to work on other media.
So I take back my faithful butter knife and start the engraving of a small slate.
It's only the first step but I already love it.
