Jeanette's black and white and ...

Here is my alphabet for the theme: black and white and a touch of ...
I used red - quite a lot of red, in fact. The letters are on newspaper (SMH), with ink, and they are set on cotton paper that has black and white ink that uses the text "writing has been used to tell lies as well as truth, to bamboozle and exploit as well as to educate, to make minds lazy as well as to stretch them" (Robinson, 1995, The Story of Writing, Thames and Hudson, London).
Thanks for the opportunity to be involved this year.

Jeanette's BACH alphabet

Here is my first alphabet for this year arranged on a Thai silk table runner.

Jeanette's German Blackletters

Alphabet 1 for 2011 is on a background of text from the obituary of Johann Sebastian Bach. The script reflects the German blackletter. The letters are in watercolour, on smooth watercolour paper, the small letters with an automatic pen and the large letters with a broad brush. The first four letters are B-A-C-H, appropriately. But as I am late, I have also posted the next six letters.
