A Personal Project – Verdi’s Birthday

I don’t usually do sidewalk/pavement chalkwork, but today is the birthday of my favorite composer – Giuseppe Verdi…his music has been such a gift and inspiration to me.  And since I happen to live just around the corner from Verdi Square, on the Upper West Side, I made a flower garland for the monument and laid down a crest in chalk, onto the stone walkway.

Business Cards

New business cards designed for relocating to New York.  A layout was first created in black ink on cotton paper.  The original was sent to the engraver in London, England – Smythson of Bond Street created a hand-engraved copper plate from the original draft.  The finished product is stunning;  an oversized card (10cm x 6.5cm) with gold ink on 700gsm Nile blue stock, with hand-rounded corners and 23kt gold hand-gilded edges.
