Edging closer to the finish...

Here are my latest letters. Continuing with the colourful rainbow, folded origami letters with polka dots theme, I have now made it up to T! Only 6 to go...


Don't you love the shape of the Q? There is something elegant and stylish about the way that lower cross bit folds and presents itself. Perfect!

As a bit of a diversion - does anybody know what the line that crosses a Q is called?  I have found one answer online - "qua" but am not sure that's it...just curious.


And I kind of just like the lightning flash of the S and the way the two triangles form the upper curves of it - very cool.

  1. These are whimsical and positively charming while showing clean and simplified design at the same time. They make you focus and see the shapes of lettering in a different way. Wouldn't Little Dot have loved them!

    In french, the line that crosses the Q is called "tail" (queue)

  7. Talking about focusing on the counters...bingo, you nailed it Fiona! I LOVE the S, and the tail (queue, thanks Lau!) on the Q is just perfect!!
