Lisa's A through M




It has been a while since my first ALaW post, which was mainly a loose collection of ideas with very little direction. Although I finally did find myself on a path, and have been gradually building my alphabet (the non-dotty one), this is the first post showing my progress. To see a few more photos and read some notes on the process, please follow this link.


I have really enjoyed visiting the ALaW blog over the last few months—thanks to all of you for the inspiration!

— Lisa

    Hi Lisa, love the way you have used part letters. Amazing what the mind recognises and translates! Nice crisp work, too.

    your letters simply look as an evidence, and I love the colors you've used.
    and ... Italy is not so far from my home (I'm French) and it would be great to taste your comestible letters !

    This design and its resolution is outrageously good! I love how it works; I love the hints of the letters; I love the colour combo; I love the perfection of the cut letters. Wow!

    Beautifully done! As others have said, the creative way you used just a piece of each letter is striking and dramatic. Such an excellent alpha!

    Thank you all for your encouraging comments - and for all of the inspiration! It really is wonderful to see how many different ways you can interpret the alphabet...

    To Annik: I do not know Massimo Pelello, but have found his website and am looking forward to browsing his work. Buon viaggio!
