alaw 2013

Well, I'm certainly getting a late start this year for ALAW (a letter a week).  It took me awhile to settle on a format and style - after much deliberating and sketching and fussing about, I think I've settled on this.  Here are the letters I have so far, drawn with pen on bristol paper....can't decide whether to add color to them - that's a pending decision.

As of now my intention is to mount them on a spiral book ala Corrine (a scroll)...we'll see.


Twining the letters is challenging and I'm not sure I have the best solutions here.....may change some up.

    I like that you take it upon yourself to complete these projects. It inspires me, greatly!!

    I've been holding back a bit from my writing "out loud" on my BE Currie blog though I AM posting daily on my I Love You, Currie blog.

    The thing I am finding is that I am working a little more quietly than even my usual quiet.

    Oh, and the thing I wanted to share is that I am DOing Carla Sonheim's Year of the Giraffe, and I'm liking the small contingent of us DOing that and sharing on Flickr and a Yahoo group thing.

    I sort of see that like your lettering. I keep at it and I grow more adept and comfortable. Upcoming in March is sewing, which should BE entertaining since I don't, but I am still game for trying it out!!

    BEauty letters, by the by.

    These are nice! What a challenge to set for yourself! I've got this 365 collage a day thing going, and if I had to make my own exemplar I'd have to be rescusitated on a daily basis! Good work.
