The Illuminated William Shakespeare.
Act First
Scene 1
A studio in house.
Enter June, artist. Her cat Coco asleep on chair, snores.
June. With mirth and laughter, original charcoal drawings I've just completed.
Close up of William
Globe Theater
Thus, hath reason for it, drawings of Shakespeare and Globe Theater to be digitally transformed in Photoshop. I tell thee, to create illusion of antiquity. Nay, unsure whether to use the border surrounding William. Behold, best regarded the inclusion of text from one of Shakespeare's plays. Bring thy the fairest Elizabethan-style font!
Pause: June momentarily distracted watching Coco awaken, stretch a wee bit. After circling three times, Coco lies back down and proceeds snoring.
June. Tell thee all, once satisfied upon overall digital imagery, thus thou printed onto translucent material. Forthwith, creating beeswax plaque base. With thy in motion, embedding print material with more layers of melted beeswax. O, then be bold to say all this in order to create depth and luminosity! To try my fortune, as the piece further develops, found objects thy shall include. Be it locket or vintage material?
No more pertains to me, than to attach beeswax collage upon wooden box illuminated from behind by a low wattage lightbulb. Hence, a light box! Methinks, thy light turned on, piece will come alive lending a magical ambiance.
In measure, I foretell posting next week finished piece.
And so farewell: for hath a tuna-melt sandwich bestow upon thee.
Snoring ceases
Exit. First Coco, followed by June.
