Hand carved stone, sculpture, lettering and design. Thursday, February 9, 2012. Alphabetica, Adamica Romani - the finished stone. I usually make a point of including at least a couple of process. Photos with every piece - to explain a bit more about how what. You are seeing came to be. For those who are new to this blog. The letters for this alphabet are not copied from a computer font. Or from a type face. They are drawn by hand - and then carved. So much to learn! The finished letters, oil paints.

A D A M P A U L H E L L E R: August 2012

Hand carved stone, sculpture, lettering and design. Saturday, August 11, 2012. LINTEL FRAGMENT, red slate sculpture carving process*. Hand carving stone is an exacting craft. Letters for me are sculptures. In the Roman Alphabet there happen to be 26 of them to choose from - and from the time of the Romans and before, people have been experimenting, manipulating, and looking for new ways to use these forms. The happy accident and the meticulous and disciplined line, they are both part of the composition.
