Noela's letters for May

I have started making my final book, so hopefully all will be revealed at the end of this month...many challenges, and a 'make it up as you go' process.
It's just a 3 tiered flag book but I am needing to measure and calculate - ugh... don't like using my left brain!!!

June complete....Jo

Whew, I made it on time... well except for the final presentation which is still a bit up in the air.


Here goes:








Have been investigating books.... perhaps an 'accordion', or 'waterfall' book would work?

Well finally, after much ado my final letters have made it to the drawing board.  I am not saying they are put together in a final product but the idea is forming in my mind so that is a start.  Helter skelter life as usual but things flow better I think when I am in that mode.  I think I may have mislaid 'q' but his tail may show up at a later date.

Elaine's 5 for May

Most of this month’s letters have their usual bounce to them, some more than others, such as w and x.

W ended up with a lot of extra ‘spring’ as I found it difficult, because of its width, to make it legible without it becoming just a jumble of shapes.





Lyndell - Various letters

Many, many apologies.  Too many things to do and not enough time etc etc (just like everyone else I suspect).  I have got so far behind that I've been struggling to catch up!  So now I'm posting a whole lot of letters at once and not in any particular order.
Luckily I do have some ideas on how to present them once I've got them done.

Fiona's nearly there...

I've had a pretty weird past few weeks with my husband Barry being ill, so I've not been at all creative, but have still managed to do a few of my letters in my first alphabet.

I have five more letters to do which I should be able to squeeze into the next few weeks if I concentrate. It's so wonderful to see that a few folk have finished and are plotting their find piece.

I am still loving the simplicity and elegance of this little alphabet with the letters all pierced, as part of the 'going dotty or polka dot' theme.






I am still imagining the final piece - I have the main idea, now all I have to do is execute it! Laugh - how often is it that the idea never quite translates as brilliantly to the real thing as when it appears in your head?  Stay tuned.

JGR final letters

First, my thanks to all who left such lovely comments on my May letters. You're all  SO encouraging 
and it makes me smile.
  I used an unlikely palette for 'U'. Background is not too bold but still almost takes over the letter.
 V is a favorite color combo: blues and purples.
 W is almost cartoon-like with it's bright yellow and red/pinky purple. Maybe the W stands for 'WAY out of character' LOL.
 X is a contrast of ocean inspired pastels against bold red, yellow and black.
 Y is back to the calm of blue, green and purple. This time with a bold letter on a subtle background.
Z is sliding off to the left, holding it's own against the chaotic maze of circles. Ah! So hard to believe the year is almost half over. Now it's on to the 'presentation'. Thank you for visiting!

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-.
