Jenny's June Letters

Well, here are my last letters.  I have to confess I did them a bit early.  I have also put them together into a book, but i will post the photos of that later, when I have had a chance to take them!  It is report-writing time at my school at the moment so breathing spaces are scarce...

May edition from Mieke.

O.K. here is the next series,

-Q-, I see now that I used the cardboard horizontal and sometimes vertical,

It gives a bit of a change although not much.

-R-, Still working on the assembly,  this is a hard  one, I still have no idea at this stage!!

oops, -S- got a little tail, have to fix that one!

 -T-, got to love the T

.

 and an extra one this month.

-U-.



Lorinda's Final Letters

Inspired by the talented Terrie, I pushed on through and finished up my first alphabet this evening.

It's been such an interesting challenge using the circles (dots) and triangles. It almost seems more difficult to come up with a second alphabet when we can do whatever our little hearts please (within 3" x 3" of course).

I've so enjoyed seeing how all of the other alphabets here have come together and can't wait to see everyone's final displays and second alphabet ideas.

last dotty letters

Here's the last of my dotty alpha:

This was fun to make and now I have to figure out how to display them.  Because I designed them to connect in a linear way, I'm sort of restricted in order to show them to the best advantage.  I'm thinking I'll play around with it this weekend.  I'm so looking forward to everyone's new direction - I have no idea what mine will be.  Do any of you?

JGR QRST

Another busy week/month is flying by. I've enjoyed this 'dotty' alphabet so much, I'll be sad to see it end. However, I'm busy sketching some ideas for my final presentation.

 Q is a variation of some earlier palettes, with toned down color.

 r is more of the exploration of seeing it/not seeing it amidst the busy background.

 S is lively and bright, drifting off the page as if waving goodbye . . .

T is bold with it's wild color but almost overtaken by the dots themselves.
Thank you for visiting - have a great day.

Lau's MNOPQRST...

Here I am !!
Those letters are a little bit brighter than the first ones...
so I think I will use darker colors for the last ones, just to vary a little bit!
I have no idea how the final presentation will be...

Following letters

Here's are my new letters.
I wanted to use the colors of rainbow : after blue, green, yellow, orange, and red, here is "indigo", a little sade, isn't it ?

Like weather today, weather to be in house and do calligraphy !

Deb - letters for May

Here are my letters for May. Trying out all sorts of things for the final presentation but not happy with any of them yet!  26 is certainly an odd number to work with.

Jenny's May letters

So... this month has Q from April as well as the 5 letters for May... and i'm putting May in early.  I got inspired this month and did them all quite early on instead of my usual spreading across the month.  I realised whilst importing them that it is difficult  to see the background colour - the paper is a lovely dark green with a bit of blue in it.  I am still having technical difficulties with my scanner not talking to my laptop and my desktop computer not talking to the internet - it seemed easier to photograph the letters rather than try to untangle that but it means the images are not quite as good.  i'll try to sort it all out by the next lot of letters!  I have also started putting the book together that the letters go in - i'm quite pleased so far!  since there are a lot of images already in this post, i'll keep the format a secret until next month...watch this space!
