Finished black and white alphabet

It has been quite some time since I posted on this blog - back in January actually. I have been creating my black and white alphabet with a little added colour from rusted metal strapping; tin sheeting - painted white; anodised aluminium from old canisters; and pop-rivets. Whilst I had done a couple more monthly sets since January I had not posted.

Fiona's email made me get a hurry on to finish the whole alphabet. Today I did manage to finish it; and also put together the 3D piece I designed to display the alphabet.

So below are images of the finished B&W alphabet.

The 3D piece has been created to sit on a flat surface.

It still needs to be stabilised a little more and tape put on the ends of the wire rods so people don't cut fingers.
