I also caught up on my two letters - Q and R.
Q is a simple outline letter I stitched, then I got a punch, a piece of endgrain timber and a hammer, and punched a couple of nice round holes in the background; referencing some of the braille dots.

R got be filled in; and I then just pencil-marked around the shapes that appear around the groups of braille dots; and in the background generally.

ReplyDeleteI think bad Fiona must have taken over the office - I'm gobsmacked I haven't replied to these comments - many apologies.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol - thanks, the book is taking shape and will be a lovely teaching tool next year. The 'r' is quite elegant I agree!
Hi FW - the warmth of the paper is special - it really does feel warm and welcoming and earthy. I also like the way the soft dove grey of the letters and the gentle purple of the book somehow seem to work. Thanks for visiting.
Hi Patti - I always admire your commitment to daily studio work and your etsy shop - you seem to balance the production and creativity sides so well. My life seems a bit more scattered but studio time is always special time. I am thinking of stitching whole words and sentences soon in these letters - I don't want to stop!
