I realise that these are early, but I have been on school holidays for 3 weeks, which was the perfect opportunity for some calligraphy! The alphabet that I have been making is written on a background that I made earlier and cut up into the correctly sized squares. I realised recently that for this piece to work, some of my squares were going to have to have more than one letter on them. It was a bit late to put conventional letters together (i and j, say) so I chose to put t and s together as there was space and I thought the layout would still work. Unfortunately it puts t before s, really, but I guess no-one will notice in the end, or if they do, it will be one of the imperfections that makes handmade things interesting!

I really like the background and your resolution of the problem - and your approach! It will look good all together when it's finished. Lovely letters.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a handcrafted gem... love the whole concept.
