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!

    and ... Italy is not so far from my home (I'm French) and it would be great to taste your comestible letters !

  7. 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!

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