Faery Beam

Another finished piece - the main lettering is stencilled then laid on the paper, the purple gouche is sprayed over using a very technical piece of equipment (an old toothbrush!!) Once this is dry the rest of the lettering is added. I'm now thinking of doing another version but with straight lettering instead of angled.

Stardust - finished piece

The moment of truth!

Stardust - wash

Just put the purple/blue wash over the lettering written in resist

Stardust Project

This is a project that I'm ongoing with at the moment - just practising with the coloured washes now before I do the finished versions.

March Meeting

Sharpened Italics - with Terry Johnson

Just had our March meeting today with one of our regular tutors - Terry Johnson. Last year we had a couple of workshops on the basic Italic script so it was a nice development to look at the sharpened variation today. Lots of practising the strokes and technique in the morning and then progressing onto words/sentences in the afternoon.

Will be posting the pictures up tomorrow!

Association of Belgium Calligraphers

I received an email today from the Belgian Association of Calligraphy, Plumes et Calames, who have set up a new English speaking forum on their website

http://site.plumes-et-calames.be/modules/newbb/index.php?cat=13

The hope is to attract more calligraphers from around the world to share their thoughts, comments, ideas, discuss projects and generally just chat about calligraphy.
