Congratulations to all prize winners!

This 50cm x 50cm piece was inspired by the Magnificent Monoline workshop by Rick Paulus that Sandra attended attended during the 2025 IAMPETH Conference in Norfolk, Virginia USA.

This piece uses Theodore Roosevelt’s address on April 23, 1910, at the Sorbonne in Paris on the topic of Citizenship in a Republic that he Titled “Man in the Arena”. Sandra used Walnut ink to get an inconsistent colour. She chose French Roundhand.

Sandra Wedding paired dry embossing using a bone folder to achieve the crisp edges using Engrossers script.
