I had a leftover blue, so I took a piece of paper and filigree. The circle in the center is about 2.5cm in diameter.
And I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you that there are still a few places left for the online course on filigree that will take place this weekend. During this course we will discuss the elements present in this little realization.

I will not surprise you if I tell you that Christmas is coming. So I'll tell you that I just opened an online store on my website, you can find it here.
I have put some of my latest creations there, including this one:
And if you don't find what you're looking for, you can always contact me for a personalized commission. :-)
I have been neglecting you lately, I apologise.
I'm posting on social networks because it's quicker than describing my whole journey and taking the time to really address you here.
So a new message so that those who are not on those evil networks can see that I am still thinking of them.
These days I'm working on a commission from the town hall of Plouider, a small seaside town in Finistère.
I like this township, they plant a tree for each birth in the township and asked me to calligraph the children's names so that we can know which tree corresponds to whom. I did it last year and will do it again this year.
But today, it is another project: to calligraph 3 fragments of poems about the chapels and to put them around the Saint Fiacre chapel. The order is to do it on slate, it's up to me to choose how.
So I decided to use Art Nouveau lettering and acrylic paint on large 40x40cm slates. The advantage is that I will be able to use the same layout for the 3 poems and thus have a unity of treatment that I would have had more difficulty in obtaining with another writing.
Here is the first text, a french translation of Shakespeare.
And whilst I've got your attention, I'd like to talk about something completely different. I have been selected to participate in the Write on the Edge International Calligraphy Conference in Sonoma, USA, next summer, and as part of that I have just answered a number of questions about my practice. You can find the transcript of this conversation here. And if you want to register for the courses, you can find the description of my two contributions here and there.
Apart from some filigreed initials, I'm not doing much at the moment, except adding material for my online course about puzzle versals.
Here are some examples of letters I'll be talking about during this course.
If you are interested, there are still a few places left :-)
