do you like cats?

Romantic writers are good. Physics is good too!
First item in what I hope will be a long series, with Schrödinger to start with.



I'm quite happy with the variations on the Greek letters as well as the ², not to mention the () and the +.

I'm going to take out my college physics books to calligraphy some more equations, it's quite fun, especially to add a legend.
This time I did it in English, the next one might be in French, German or Latin, I still hesitate.

Granite is fantastic

It was nice last weekend so I couldn't stay scribbling in my workshop, I had to enjoy the garden a bit.
And I undertook to decorate the alley with various motifs, directly engraved in the slabs.

Starting at the end



and then trying a basic knotwork pattern



it's still quite long to do, granite is not easily incised, I will think about new patterns for next weekend if the weather continues.

greek

I made tons of initials with filigrees but always using the latin alphabet.
Here is a first panel of greek initials made the same way.

Wallnut stain and ferro-gallic ink on paper, the letters are approx. 2cm high


I will probably design the whole alphabet.

Know thyself

An umpteenth version of this sentence engraved on the Oracle's temple in Delphi : Know thyself.


This time, I mixed an embossed roman capital with its greek counterpart, letterred on tin and electro-etched to show the hidden parts of the roman caps.
I'm very happy with the result, already thinking of new works using the same technique. Impatient !!!

To see the whole thing, click here. The pic is not very good, it's difficult to get enough light to reveal the whole etching :-\

work in progress

Just to prove that I'm still working, even if (or maybe because) I don't post a lot on this blog.
Here is a pic of my latest work, still in progress and far from being finished.


There' some greek in it but not only and it's a sentence I already worked on. For the time being, I won't tell you more about it ...
