I'm just starting my summer embroidery project. An alphabet made of the ornamented initials of Amster typeface. The font was designed by super talented Chilean typographer Francisco Gálvez and it's a tribute to Mauricio Amster, designer of great influence in Chile and Spain during the XX century. Each initial is inspired by the engravings of the lira popular (literal: popular lyre) or “string literature”, a series of popular poetry publications (if you've ever been to Liguria in Santiago, you've probably seen the pictures of the menus.)

What a great project looking forward to see more.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, muy prometedor! Me gusta verte utilizando un fondo oscuro, porque últimamente me veo rodeada de blanco por todas partes...
ReplyDeleteY si te fijas, es el mismo lino que usé de telón de fondo en el post anterior... es que una vez compré mucho metros, así que tengo uff de sobra ;)
Deleteme gusta mucho el bordado.. y aunque yo tejo.. creo que bordar requiere de una paciencia gigante!..
ReplyDeleteprosperidad para el proyecto que comienza!
Ay alita, gracias! Prosperidad!
DeleteIt's a lovely project. It reminds me of postcards I saw at the Globe Theatre for Shakespeare's productions. I think they'd used the same or a similar typeface.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. I checked their site and now they have some posters which I believe is what you are speaking of. Not the same font but absolutely more beautiful! A whole story inside an initial!
