Hello everyone, for my second alphabet I've decided to use only re-purposed items from my studio. The backgrounds above are made from a watercolor (140 lb Arches HotPress) painting that . . . 'didn't turn out' - so to speak. I cut it into squares and pasted tissue paper scraps on top. In some places the background shows through which I like. I went back and 'painted' the letters with dimensional paint which comes in a small bottle with a narrow point so it allows for some 'precision'. I added the black border in PhotoShop. Thank you for visiting!

I like the idea of looking at what you have and re-using or up-cycling them! The tissue paper letters are fun.
J'aime beaucoup l'idée du "recyclage"... C'est porter un regard différent sur les choses...
Essayer de voir ce qui est caché derrière... :)

I like the idea of "recycling" (re-cycling ? "up-cycling" ? "re-using" ?)... It is carrying a different perspective on things ...
Try to see what is hidden behind ... :)
