The kiss

Poem by Paul Althof, found in Ver Sacrum magazine.
It was therefore obvious to calligraphy it with the Art Nouveau lettering that I recovered from the same magazine.
The calligraphy was done with a palette nib, except for the separations between verses which were done with a drawing pen, all in acrylic ink.

And for those who would like to learn how to make this alphabet, I remind you that I am organizing a course in my workshop on April 4 & 5, 2020.

Pangrammatic curtains (continuation & end)

After the German and English versions, I added the French version, another in Gaelic and a last one in red and Latin.

All that's left to do is to hang it on the window...

Beati

This project will have been going on for almost three years, but it is finally over.

It is therefore about the beatitudes in the version of Saint Luke and according to the text of the vulgate.
The cadel B was made on metal and the embossing on a rag paper whose provenance I have totally forgotten.

I'm rather happy with the result, especially with my abbreviations, ligatures and Tironian notes in the NEULAND style, but even without mentioning these details, the overall view is rather nice, isn't it?
