NOELA'S SECOND ALPHABET

Yeah!! I have started my second alphabet.
I am trying an entirely different approach with this one.
I have decided to do 26 stages of the whole alphabet rather than 26 letters individually. That way I can let the letters 'evolve' and I can share the challenges and solutions along the way.
WEEK 1
I used a PILOT Parallel Pen on soft Japanese pre painted paper.
I had problems with the ink bleeding but wanted to persevere because I like the background paper.

Hi Noela, Try giving your background paper a light spray of hair-spray OR paint on a thin layer of Acrylic Gel Medium and then allow to dry before writing. Sue in South Africa who is hoping to get started soon on the 2nd alphabet!!
