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 ?

One year later

Today is our first wedding anniversary. To celebrate, I offered this pendant (among other things) to my wife.

It's about 2cm large by 3.5cm high.
I modified a sentence by Wittgentstein (which I already worked on here) and it now says : my world is all what you are.

seals

For an ongoing project that may never be finished, I'm creating some seals using zinc and the acid engraving technic I'm used to.

Each seal is from 1 to 1.5 cm high.

I'm quite happy with the result for the moment. To be followed...

The world is all that it is

A new item in my series of sentences and a new item in german.
This time, I chose Wittgenstein, a philosopher whose work I really like.

To change a bit from the previous ones, I used a double embossing with an industrial look and a finish in tag mode.

I quite like the result, and you ?
