The first inked version does not satisfy me so I changed for an intaglio lettering for the original version and a very small and elongated version for the French translation.
All this is done on watercolor paper, iron gall ink and Prussian blue.

Fourth and last version of my fragment of Rainer Maria Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus that I was telling you about here.

This is awesome and so impressive. I love this you combined French and German. One would have though, that it is impossible to mix the large and the small letters yet you found a way. What is the size of the piece?
ReplyDeleteThe German part is 1cm high
DeleteThe French one, 3mm
Thank you 😊
