In this update I wanted to share the latest set of journals from the "Ember" Collection. They were made with some new things in mind and I'm quite pleased how they turned out.
You can find them, as well as my dad's new pens in my shop here: www.etsy.com/shop/HouseOfStopan
I've also opened commissions for the following holiday season and the months ahead. Check out my custom order form on my website here: www.iostopan.com/custom-order...
I made my first tries with lino printing, although with some mistakes. I'm preparing some designs to incorporate in my future work.

If you are thinking about a commission... I can assure you, Stopan will work with you to get every last detail worked out. I couldn’t believe his attention to my needs, and his suggestions in relation to my wants... A true master who loves his craft... a real pleasure to work with! A+++ 👍🏻

I'd love to see a video all about the Gilding process, from a complete beginner's perspective. There is a lot of information out there, but often contradictory in terms of supplies, and the process, heat or no heat, etc. Loved seeing the Lino process, my daughter created some great panels as a teen, I've been holding onto them for years, and this reminded me, I'll use them! Thanks, Stopan, beautiful work, as usual! Karen

Your books are outstanding as always - but who knew you had such a lovely speaking voice too - love your accent and it was so nice to hear your thought processes. I did the same thing with my letters in my first print lol. Your sketchbook is gorgeous!

Hi! Your notebooks are amazing!! Could you tell me what you use to make the gold stick and stay on the leather? If I remember correctly you said in a previous video that you don't heat you tools when you apply the gold.

I get a weird bit of regional pride seeing people to lino printing since I've lived for most of my life in the former world centre for linoleum production. Side note - I've always wondered with you and other artists projects with gold or silver leaf: what do you do with the excess? Is there some way to recycle it?

@Stopan 4 жыл бұрын

I'm just delving into lino printing but so far, I love that there is no grain and you can concentrate on carving, regardless of direction. As for the gold, that's why I use that rubber. After a fair amount has been collected, the rubber can be burned out, leaving only the gold to be recycled. It will take some time, as it's a really fine leaf, only a few microns thick. My dad works with a lot more mass and each month he melts around 10 grams of dust to use again. It's a really good idea to collect the excess and I imagine most craftsmen do their best.

What's the name of the tool used at 8:21 to make a straight line? P.s. Your books are all incredibly beautiful

@Stopan 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you, Shyra! The tool is called a line pallet. This particular one is a multi tool from a Greek master toolmaker and bookbinder.
