Et maintenant, le premier alphabet - And now, the first alphabet

Bonjour,
Hello

Que vont-elles donc devenir, ces lettres par semaine ? Les stocker ? Ca ne convient pas à la ligne éditoriale de la maison... ;) Les jeter ? Cela choque mon sens de l'économie... J'ai trouvé mieux... ;) Je les ai reliées en carnet... un peu comme un abécédaire... mais sans illustration... avec une reliure japonaise...
What will they then become, those letters per week? The store? It does not fit the editorial line of the house ... ;) Throw? This offends my sense of economy ... I better ... ;) I have related in the book ... just as an ABC ... ... but not illustrated with a binder Japanese ...

Je ne suis pas sûre d'être tout à fait au point en ce qui concerne la reliure japonaise, mais je vais bien finir par savoir m'y prendre... Par exemple pour ce carnet, je crois qu'il aurait fallu que je laisse davantage de papier sur la gauche des lettres alors que je les ai centrées sur l'adossement. En reliant les cartons "chocolat", le fil emprisonne trop de la marge gauche...

I am not sure of being right at the point in regards bookbinding Japanese, but I'll get to know me well ... take for example this book, I think it would I had to leave more paper letters on the left while I have focused on admission. By connecting the pipeline "chocolate", the wire traps too much margin left ...

Bonne journée.

I thought I'd share a couple of pictures to show you how my first alphabet has come up now I have finished it...

I've split the alphabet into two, placing 13 squares onto each post. The posts are from an old weathered pallet I scored from one of my local tip hunts while looking for rusty bits for my letters. Thinking it had character, and knowing only too well it would come into good use down the track, I convinced Glen it was a worthy find and to bring it home with us, thankfully he agreed.

Here's a detail of the image (below), you can see the nails at each side, random and distorted which were left behind from the other planks levered off. They gave such a groovy look to the posts I just had to leave them there!

...most definitely a Rosalie Gascoigne influence going on here.
