#gilding experiments somewhat more successful on the gum ammoniac today. Lots of breathing on the writing, lots of careful burnishing through glassine... Still not right, but at least it's sticking to the forms. #goldleaf #13thC_recipe #goldfever #gold #calligraphymasters #calligraphy #lettering #fraktur #italic #zapf #neudorffer #handlettering #blacknwhite_perfection #blackletter #gothic #alphabets #emptiness_is_a_design_pattern #MakeAMindfulMark #AstroCalligraphics #astrology AstroCalligraphics.com (at Galena Design Foundation)

"Astrology is the art of observing the synchronistic relationships between the inner world of the mind, heart, and spirit, and outer macrocosmic events.⁣ Carl Jung found great value in the Horoscope, noting that it is not surprising that a wine has characteristics unique to its time and place of vintage, so we should not consider it unusual that a person also has such." — my own words ⁣ Trial script from my AstroCalligraphics.com folder (2017)⁣ ⁣ #geometry⁣ #sacredgeometry⁣ #compass⁣ #emptiness_is_a_design_pattern⁣ #astrocalligraphics #astrocalligraphy⁣ #kabbalah #qabbalah #sefirot⁣ @theritmanlibrary @embassyofthefreemind (at Washburn, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzaeU-tDYWf/?igshid=bjdjdgxh59ry

From the #archives probably late 1980s, Evanston still shared Chicago's 312 area code (how quaint) # I designed and printed these cards for my friend Sally on my 10x15 Chandler and Price. # All drawn by hand, with pens and pointed brush, the calligraphic lettering was pasted up directly while the astro glyphs were reduced on the photostat camera. # The finished art was marked on the overlay for separations, and I sent it to get mag cuts engraved (magnesium, photo engraving). Last pic shows evidence of the crumbling mortar in the cellar! # These archives are now in our storage unit, awaiting a new studio with room for my ("new") flat files, eight cabinets worth! Or maybe just a ride to the @newberrylibrary if there's still room in my box :-) #calligraphy #lettering #handlettering #alphabets #1980s #pasteup #emptiness_is_a_design_pattern #letterpress #finepaper #arches #perfect #inking #blindimpression #astrology #AstroCalligraphics #hermeticengrossing
