Wow!... how do I follow all these amazing creations. My letters are VERY different to those of the very clever calligraphers. One could call them 'unsophisticated' perhaps. It's great fun, and a challenge. Thought I'd start with the coloured alphabet first, then work up to the black and white.

I began by cutting matboard into 7 x 7cm squares and was surprised by how tiny they seemed.  However, small is good.

Next step was to cut suitable letters from glossy mags (a bit wabisabi Noela?) and glue them. At last, I could pick up a brush.  Painting is my favourite obsession.  A little colour here, a little attached something there, and hey presto!

I keep altering my mini-collages. I suspect this might continue ad infinitum, at least until I get to the end.  Co-ordinating such diverse images into a single collage might just be too difficult a feat.  It will certainly test my design skills. Perhaps they'll lend themselves to a box instead.  We'll see.
