Bramble

For a ongoing project, I'm looking for a way to adorn the inside part of an O with vegetable patterns. A bit tired of historical vines, I made this first try using bramble. The piece is 5cm large in diameter.

As you can see, it is made of zinc, engraved with acid even if this time I used a plate of new zinc and not recovered one.

the heart has its matters which matter knows nothing of

My latest work, on zinc, an engraved white vine in the shape of a heart

I quite like it :-)

Simplex sigillum veri

Another sentence by Wittgenstein, from his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.

I wrote it with stamped wax and glued my seals on the work, it would have been their only use.

Exhibition

I'll be part of the Art Fair in Concarneau the 9th & 10th november.
Each participant has to give a piece of work related to the fish for a tombola, here is my contribution.

A fish skeleton, engraved on zinc and glued to a block of slate, it almost looks like a fossil, doesn't it ?

Embossing

Detail of a work for a customer, a little knotwork embossed on an excellent paper from Capellades, a Catalan mill.

It's has been a long time since my last embossed work and even longer since I last drew knotworks.

One does not see anything until one sees its beauty

A new sentence, this time from The Decay of lying by Oscar Wilde.
I took some pics of banks while walking, which inspired me while drawing the upper border. A bit of italic for the text and it's done.

to see the whole work, it's in the gallery.

Ring

Another try as a jeweller, this time on the basis of the seals I made for another project.
Once the seal assembled with a ring, it makes a perfectly functional seal ring.

It's not only working it's also quite nice, don't you think ?
