Elaine's April Letters

I am amazed that there are so many different techniques that can be used to create letters. I thought I would have run out by now. It is great fun, but as far as colour goes I am looking forward to using lots more of that in the 2nd alphabet!

Week 14. R - EW
Cola pen filled with red gouache and silver acrylic gouache.






Week 15. W - EW
I wrapped string around a piece of wood to make a W-shaped stamp then printed it using acrylic gouache. Second W stitched with red thread using a sewing machine.



Week 16. Q - EW
I used a compass and gilding mix and then laid down artificial silver leaf. The red gouache marks were also made with the compass.





Week 17. C - EW
Using the silver acrylic ink bottle dropper I wrote onto a black and white photo. Red paper highlight.

Elaine these are brilliant again! I love the freedom and expression in them and your control - just loose enough without ever being messy!
