JGR April letters

Hi everyone, I hope you're all having a good month. It's hard to believe April is almost over!
I continue to enjoy the dual aspects of this technique: Part control and part 'wing-it' LOL!
M has a stark contrast between the black and polka dot center and the subtle almost delicate lettering on the left and right.
N has just a snippet of the dark and a bit of scribbling near the bottom . . .
O has almost a striped effect with contrast near the top and crackl-y texture near the center. . .
P has a somewhat 'faded' look: light on top getting darker near the bottom.
As always, thank you for viewing. Happy weekend to all!

JGR Letters

Hi everyone, here are February's letters from my 'Black and White with a touch of blue texture' alphabet.
My focus for this alphabet is to be a bit more controlled than in my previous letters of 2010.
Yet, I am drawn to the spontaneous, random look that adds a unique feeling: as if it could never be duplicated exactly.
it's what I find most fascinating about the creative process-mine or anyone else's. Our work becomes something like a 'fingerprint' . . .
. . . each one 'speaks' in a different voice . . .
and if I could only speak one word-it would be 'TEXTURE.' Have a great day!
