Noela's letters for January

I am continuing with my love for teabags and for recycled materials. 
This alphabet is all about teabags, copper wire, gold wax highlighting, lots of glue, and the mysterious and intriguing Mayan alphabet. The copper wire is sandwiched between 2 layers of teabag tissue.
If you look closely, you will see the Roman alphabet equivalent in the bottom right corner. I don't mind the lack of clarity as the assembled piece will be hanging in a window and the letters will be in order.

  1. Looking great Noela! They are intriguing and interesting and lovely - invite you to spend time with them and wonder about them. I love that they will hang with the light behind them as well.

  2. Very interesting - flash vs no flash! Just love these, the texture, colour and everything. I can't, however, decide which version I like better!
