More characters found in the woods

Here's P through T. It was challenging to find the letters naturally. A few had to be created. I did not think of photographing the end of a log for "O", but I am happy with the "O" wreath from my earlier post.

Into the woods again

Time to catch up! And I finally figured out how to put them is the correct order.

I Love Letter in the Sand is the name of my second alphabet. I wrote these letters late in the day in the sand. The shadows were fantastic. Then I played in Photoshop (a first for me!)

Kim Schoenberger - T

Being totally focused on preparations for my next exhibition and the extremely wet weather, I am now seriously lagging behind. We're already into December and I haven't finished the November letters... eeek, starting to feel a little under pressure. Especially now I am seeing everyone posting the last lot of letters up to Z!!!!

T - Carving

Seeing all the common techniques I am familiar with have been used, I'm starting to use the same techniques in previous letters in a different manner, thinking outside the norm if practically possible.

Here I'm carving the clay out around the letter to create a three dimensional 'T', much more challenging than the A and N, where A I carved directly around the outline and N carved within the outline resulting a negative letter.

Sanded and ready for bisque.

Jeanette's Alphabet 2

This is my second alphabet, finished in a hurry so I can go on holidays. It is derived from texts from the 7^th and 8^th centuries, the Book of Kells and the Vespasian Psalter. I have really enjoyed this project and hope it can continue next year in some form. Thank you for the opportunity to be involved.

December letters

Nearly there. Only 2 more to do then alphabet complete. This time the order is X, W, V, U. I love the colours in X.
Have a great Christmas break.

Eventhough time has been minimal, creating these silky overlays has given me a small surge of creative energy.... which I need to keep me going these days. Then there is always the catching up with friends and family to take me through to the new year. May all my new alaw friends have a safe and holy Christmas....stay strong in your practice, and may we always create! Christine

HEATHERS LAST SPENCERIAN FLING

Last letters done in a rush as we are having an exhibition just after Christmas and I will put my finished box on show. Lesson learned from first alphabet - this is a transportable, light, easy -to- photograph affair in a box I found at our local Vinnies. Picture to follow when completed.

 ALAW has been such fun and it has been a delight to see how creative everyone is. A very Happy Christmas and New Year fellow letterers. Looking forward to seeing your finished masterpieces.
