If you were able to look closely you would note that the T has a small split along the vertical axis - metal fatigue? I can't believe we are almost to the end of our first alphabet. Have to get my thoughts firmed up for the second alphabet.

More metal for May
I have continued with my original plan for the first alphabet: using recycled brass as the material; and foldforming (for letters with straight lines) and beating and stamping (for letters with curves) to create the letters. So this month R, S and U got the beating and stamping treatment; and T was foldformed.

ReplyDeleteJust getting better and better,
ReplyDeletelove them all!
CJ - Pretty cool that the brass letters spelt out rust. Thanks for the insight - it made me smile. B
ReplyDeleteM - Thanks. The challenge is how to present them. B
The warmth and glow in these is great!
ReplyDeleteI love the different textures and depths. I also love how the letters are either very butch or very soft and begging to be rubbed. Wonderful!
