Ornaments for bells
In December 2022 was the benedictation for two new bells of Großpösna, a small parish near Leipzig. The beautiful conclusion also of my work on the decoration for these bells. It was not an easy process but it was worth it.
At the beginning there were ribbons written from a line with the given words for the two bells (2).
The first idea for a bell ornament was drawings engraved directly into the casting mold, which is why the design of the ornament was made from a ribbon. However, due to the complexity of the design, this was discarded, and instead work continued with the counterform of the lines (3).
After the shapes for the ornament were defined, final drawings for the ornament were made (4).
At the upper edge of the bells a frieze is drawn from the name of each bell: Raphael & Gabriel. At the lower edge there are short Bible words forming an ornamental frieze (5 & 6).
Silicone molds were made by the foundry to implement the drawings. The template for this had to be an unrolling drawing in original size (7).
