Sue's second alphabet

Seasons Greetings to you and all who belong to ALAW. I won't even try to explain why I am SOOO late with this alphabet BUT wish to apologise to you and the others in the Group. At least I finished before the 31 December 2010!!

 For these letters I used a Pilot Parallel Pen 3.8mm and black Acrylic Ink and slick thick paper or light-wight card. They are based on the Batarde Capitals with my own variations. Any comments would be welcome. I hope I will be allowed to do the 2011 letters. Warm regards, Sue in South Africa

Sue's second 2nd alphabet

My August letters. I have changed my theme and wish to submit a set of contemporary Batarde capitals. I was inspired by Ward Dunham exemplar which I obtained from Ewan Clayton when I attended his workshop in 2000 in Cape Town. I will re-do the July letters and hope to now catch up.  Warm regards, Sue Williams

Sue's next alphabet

At long last I have done some letters for JULY!! August will hopefully follow next week. I used Sharpie Poster Silver and Gold Paints, Tombow ABT Pen, Zig Writer Metallic Pens, Zig Millennium Pens mark making and Pilot Parallel Pen, 6.0mm for letters. Forgive me for taking sooo long to send this to you. 

Warm regards, Sue Williams

For Sue

I was doing some glass fusing for a sculptural piece (bower) for the Lucas Parklands Sculpture on the Edge exhibition. At the same time I was doing the letter X for ALaW. It struck me that Sue uses a kiln view hole as the link to her alphabet for this first ALaW period.



The above photos show the glow of the kiln as I fused my glass; and I could not resist taking a photo of my letter X with the red glow of the viewing hole next to it. Sue I just love your alphabet.

Sue's first letters - Jan & Feb

I was inspired by Mieke's photos of the peephole of her Kiln. I wrote to her to ask if I could use the image to develop this very rounded free script, I called them  Kiln Peephole letters!   Warm regards, Sue in South Africa.
