I contemplated several different ways of presentation and finally decided on a meandering book because the road to peace is never a straight line. The base for the book is a 12 inch by 12 inch piece of cardstock. I mounted the individual letters on cardstock to match the colour of the ink (rainbow letters) and to make a clearer distinction between the blue, indigo and purple inks. The colour of the inks vary with the amount put down. Some of the letters are a bit messy as I managed to touch to ink before it was dry. The hazards of working in a circle. I plan on redoing these in the future, but for now it is better to have them done :-)
I scanned the page that makes up the book flat, but I have a new printer/scanner and I have not yet figured how to scan it as a jpeg rather than a pdf. More learning to be done!
I have an idea for my next alphabet, but have not yet started. A three week driving holiday to the IAMPETH convention, family visiting from Australia and a nephew's wedding have kept me busy.
love it to pieces. What a great concept. Beautiful letters!

Beautiful! I love the rainbow colours and the meandering suits the swirly nature of the decorations round the letters too I think. Fab.
