4 kort fra en serie jeg lagde julen 2004 |


De fire kortene under lagde jeg til julen 2004 (tror jeg). Jeg var inspirert av gotisk skrift og ønsket å ha en kontrast og fant noen bokstavformer i en bok jeg har som hadde veldig dekorativ og floral utforming. En kontrast til de litt mer rigide, gotiske bokstavene. Disse ble trykt opp på håndlaget Khadipapir med biter av strå i seg.

Jeg kommer nok snart på et eller annet til årets julekort også. Uansett, riktig goooooood jul til dere alle!
ENGLISH:
As I was waiting for inspiration for designing this year's Christmas cards, I started looking through the pile of Christmas cards that I have made over the years. All of these I have made since I graduated from the calligraphy course at Roehampton in 1999. I have made more, but I don't think I have saved any of them.
The top card was made by writing with double pencils. After drawing them I filled in the lettershapes and made a frame around. I copied it and also made a card in negative colours - white letters on black background. I was inspired by uncial letter shapes, however, with quite a modern twist - linking old with new as the new millennium was about to come.
Skar ut en g i gullkartong og hektet på lapper med ord som begynner på g |
The four cards underneath was made in 2004. I was inspired by the Gothic alphabet. To contrast the letter shapes I drew a big letter with floral shapes that I found inspiration from a book that I have. I thought the contrast worked well with the rigid letter shapes of the Gothic letters.
The card on the bottom is from 2009. I have always loved this g-shape and had a crazy idea to cut out little strips of cards that had words starting with the letter g, like g-litter etc. Funny hun?
Anyway inspiration come to me...Meeeeeeery Christmas everyone!
