A letter a week 50,51 & 52 - in the nick of time!

I have been intermittently finishing my letters for alphabet 2 and it struck me yesterday that today being the last day of the year, I should probably post on them!

There is a quiet sense of achievement to have actually been able to stick with this wee challenge and to complete a letter every week for 2010. Sometimes it was two or three in a week if I fell behind; but generally speaking I did focus on a letter a week.

So to finish we have X, Y & Z.

With X I simply did lead pencil dot marks around the white areas in rusted braille paper background.

For Y I popped a couple of silver 'xs' in the background, to kind of mark the beginning and end of the journey

I loved the swirls in the background of Z and simply outlined them in silver.

Whilst I haven't completed the final piece for the alphabet yet - that isn't really due until early next year - I have been progressing it as I go and here are some images of the book in the making.

  3. it does look good, and here i am, finding myself making binding decisions when i of course know they are not mine to make. i think because you have taken us along on the journey of making this, it feels very close. it will be fun to see your decision for binding/presentation.
