late starter, not latecomer!

Hello fellow 'letter a weekers' ......  Please forgive me for posting my entire alphabet today, and not coming along each week to post and comment.  I have just had a delightful long look through all the posts in this blog and am very glad I looked once I had completed my very loose and free interpretation of the 'peace' alphabet and not beforehand otherwise I would have felt the need to make a far more beautiful alphabet.  

Here it is though, and I hope once I have worked out the binding, it will look more interesting .... or will I bind it.  I haven't yet decided.

A, B, C and D

E, F, G and H

I, J, K and L

M, N, O and P

Q, R, S and T

U, V, W, X, Y and Z

Calligraphytique Letter's #Week 21

U letter. / Cette semaine, le "U".

Thoughts about Peace

I’ve finished q-t

Together

And overlaid

I’ve also been thinking about the peace alphabet.

I’m working on the idea of intervals of peace/silence interspersed between all the noise and chatter of daily life. I’ve an idea for the structure and how to represent the noise.

 I’m not sure yet about the letters yet although I’m thinking white/translucent and quite delicate.

May is here, and so are my next 4 letters. Looming on the horizon is the prospect of making a book, something I've never done before, I have seen many beautifully made books, inventive, skillful, and with a knowledge of the process, I think I step into the unknown.....with eyes wide shut!!!! 

What a funny looking 'S' didn't quite work. 

I will have to be more inventive...not allowed to use my own paintings again, when I begin thinking how to interpret the word 'PEACE'

The end of the alphabet... The "T"! / Plus que quelques lettres avant de voir le résultat! Cette semaine, le "T".

lettres pour la paix...suite

J'ai enfin trouvé et pris le temps de continuer ma petite production...
Cela paraît répétitif il faudra donc trouver une façon dynamique de relier le tout! J'ai une petite idée mais il faut la peaufiner.

pour info le "koto" est un instrument de musique extrême  oriental.
Ne dit-on pas que la musique adoucit les moeurs?? la paix en aurait bien besoin...

La deuxième salve de grilles et lettres

et les mots qu'ils m'ont inspiré avec leurs petites colombes

Je trouve certaines lettres de cette écriture très élégantes comme le P ou le K

J'espère mettre moins de temps pour le prochain post!

Eithna all done............almost

Apologies for lagging behind, but at last I have all my letters done. I won't include them all here as the post will be too long so here are a random collection. Now of course the fun bit starts deciding on what book format I will show them in. I had thought I would like to attempt a Jacobs ladder but all my instruction books only show a 3 page example and I feel making it bigger will be very confusing for a first timer but we will see.

Hello,

Here are another 4 letters.

I'm starting to have trouble figuring out how to play on transparencies, gray and white for the alphabet started in January.

This is still the" m, n, o, p"
I present the four letters at the same time and "n" after because it seems better vertically.

See you soon

Annik

Hello,

Voilà encore 4 lettres.
Je commence à avoir des difficultés à trouver comment jouer sur les transparences, les gris et les blancs pour cet alphabet commencé en janvier.
Voilà quand même les m,n,o,p
Je présente les 4 lettres en même temps et le "n" à part car il apparait mieux verticalement.

A très bientôt

Annik

April and May Uncial letters

How on earth did I miss a month?  Ah well, here's a catching up post.

There must be a theme of missing things, because I appear to have missed the letter Q!  It will make an appearance at the end - fear not.

Some of the letters look odd repeated again and again (N and P for example) but I don't mind that - once they're stuck in their book it;s going to be pretty obvious what they are.

It's great to see all the alphabets developing - looking forward to seeing the switch over to alphabet 2 in a few weeks!

I am in awe of those of you who have clearly spent hours and hours on every entry - I know that personally if would have become too much of a stress to hit the deadlines so I'm glad I chose something simple.

Calligraphytique Letter's #Week 19

The "S"! / Déjà à la lettre "S"!

I have posted one of my images in full, as Fiona feels it's o.k to do so.

As you can see, this picture is in pencil, and quite detailed, the eggs are plovers eggs

just sat there in the leaf litter, I took quite a few pictures of it, and worked from them.

Hope you enjoy this rather un- orthodox entry.  Sandra.
