JGR Second Alphabet FINISHED

Hi everyone, 

below are my letters to finish Alphabet #2.

To recap, the alphabet is classic serif letters on hand painted backgrounds-some wild and chaotic, some subtle and quiet. Letters are accented with slightly out-of-register outlines for a modern touch. 

                                                                        November

My rule for the presentation book was that it be constructed of items already in my studio, either recycled or hand made. 

Front cover is made of hand dyed tissue paper, bleach stamped with my hand carved rubber stamps. Scanned into Photoshop, printed on slick paper and mounted to recycled cereal box. 

                                        
 Text added in Illustrator. Close-up below: Metal 'rings' are recycled from a used sketchbook (of which I have many LOL!) Holes are punched one-at-a-time with standard hole punch.
                                       
Inside cover (below left) is a monochrome version of the cover design printed on card stock adhered to opposite side of the front cover. Letters are printed, cut and mounted individually onto alternating colors of card stock in this case off white.
                                      

                                         Back cover is scrapbook paper adhered to cardboard.

I had a wonderful time with this challenge, I'm a rather sad to see it end. Thank you Fiona for coordinating this blog and thanks to all of you for your encouragement and inspiration!
