I am way behind. I went overseas for 5 weeks from the end of
June and had a wonderful time, but this is the first chance I have had to
finish off the first alphabet. I haven’t even started the second, but I have
planned it all in my head.
You may remember that I didn’t create the letters in
alphabetical order. As I was putting the book together and trying to put the
letters in the right order, my husband suggested that I should call this book,
‘alphabet disorder’, which I have. The title is displayed on the cover.
The colours of the pages in the book correspond to the main colour
of the sequins on each letter. I based this book loosely on a Japanese binding,
but with staggered pages. I used red mount board with a black core for the back
cover and the binding strips. This means that the back of the book and all the
edges are black.
The book is 21 cm high x 22cm wide. The letters are 7cm
within the pencil drawn square, but the white paper backgrounds are in a
variety of sizes. This seems to add to the quirky look of this dotty alphabet.
