Time to redo (for the umpteenth time) a small alphabet in advance of the medieval festival this weekend.
I am far from finished....

Back to work
The students at Rendez-Vous 2019 in Canada were so fond of my little initials that I no longer have a single one.

ABC...Embossing...XYZ
When I returned from Canada yesterday, I couldn't resist the paper offered to me by Cynthia, one of my students, and I went back to my work desk.
A very beautiful handmade paper, very flexible, what else can I do but emboss it?
Impatient, I didn't take the time to find a text that could have taken place on this page, I just made an alphabet inspired by the NEULAND script.
And as I had to be able to discreetly add my signature, as there was still a lot of space at the bottom of the sheet, I made some filigrees (yes, I am an addict, but you already knew that).

Canada, here I am !!
Tomorrow is the departure for the 38th International Calligraphy Conference of North America where I will have the pleasure of teaching filigrees for a whole week.
In the meantime, I have prepared some pockets for the participants.
one of the pockets, opened.

This tree & its shivering
It had been a long time since I had read Antonin Artaud, long since I had calligraphied a pretty gothic fraktur.
It is done, here is The Tree.

I promise to stop soon
or... maybe not ;-)

spring roll
Whew, just before the solstice, thanks to my wife, I managed to create two rolls to store brushes, pen-holders and other tools.
The two closed rolls
The first, with red buttonholes and filigrees, with some tools.
The second, with a reworked NEULAND lorem ipsum and its black buttonholes filled with different brushes
The same but without the tools
And finally, the back of this second bag

New game
Yesterday, I invented a new game. It's called hide & stain ;-)
You take a garment whose stains are so well inlaid that it is impossible to make them leave and you calligraphy something over it in order to hide them.
