PIC OF
THE WEEK - 2009 Week 1
"Pic of the Week". All of us in calligraphy are visual.
I'd like to email you one picture a week of beautiful work from the
new Course, PRIMITIVE TO MODERN.
My hope is that in seeing these delightful pieces of art you'll be
enticed to take a peek at my website
reggieezell.com
and enjoy the slide shows. All of us hate getting unsolicited
email so if you want me to take you off the list I understand.
I'm sending everything from a Mac. Hope you are inspired by the
work!
Week 2
Here is Pic of the Week #2.
I will get better at this as I do it more. Last week some of you emailed back and wanted particulars about Magda's work. She was a student in this year's Chicago Class. The work itself is from month 5, "Design". It is collage utilizing papers, digital images taken of stained glass and manipulated in the computer. It is approximately 11"x15".
This week's work is by Corinna Taylor. It is a single piece
of cut paper, approximately 8"x12". It is from month 1,
"Modernizing a Traditional Calligraphic Hand" (Blackletter
Variations).
Any comments are welcome. As always, many more of these
beautiful works are on my website in the slideshows at
reggieezell.com along with complete details about the course
PRIMITIVE TO MODERN.
Week 3
It's by Maggie Gillikin from the 2008 class in San Antonio
in the second month's class of the Course, "Writing on
Vellum". It is a manuscript book done entirely on slunk skin
vellum, 36 pages. The double page spread is about 4" x
61/2". Watercolors, stick ink, raised and shell gold were
some of the materials.
It is a coptic binding.
