Window Project
Here is a hand lettering project I have been working on the last few days.
The "JEWELERS" line has some issues I know, but I will likely just use Garamond down there when I digitize it.

Hey, skribe, will you be the one painting it on the glass? Or did they hire you to design and another company to install? I've often wondered about that, and was once approached about doing just this. I had no idea at the time how to approach it, and was too busy anyway, so turned them down.
If you do hand-paint it yourself, could you describe the process a bit? Maybe your preferred paint? Just curious. Thanks!

Nice job!  I hope you'll be able to show us the finished product.

I will not be the one painting it, unless they want to pay me to fly back to the States. I do know the processes involved.
All the work is done in reverse on the inside of the glass. The outlines will be painted on using a mask cut on a plotter. Then the letters will be gilded using gold leaf. (The gold sticks to sizing made from water and gelatin) The back side of the gold leaf will be painted black. What will be used on the acanthus vine is still to be determined.
I likely got carried away on the shading of the vine, and some of that will have to be done away with.
