I feel as if I'm off to a better start this year, building a letter a week into my art schedule.
These are my first four letters - and I must admit my alphabet is a little bit quirky. The full story can be read over at my blog; but here they are - fun letters made out of coloured pencils…
A - with an Amethyst theme…
B - with a Burgundy theme…
C - with a Crimson theme…
D - with a Denim theme…
I am poking the letters into really really fine sand in a tall vase then trying to get a good shot from directly above.
I'm not sure how the letters will appear in a final piece just yet, but hopefully that will happen!

How cool is that! Do you have 26 different colours to work with? ;-p

Yes Sandy - as you now know there are 500!
DeleteWhat a treasure you received from your friend, Fiona! And such a wonderful installation you have begun - talk about 'thinking outside the box' {square}! Aside from the sumptuous selection of colors, I love how the shots you show on Paper Ponderings belie the fact that the pencils are organized in the shape of letters. Looking forward to seeing more...
ReplyDeleteYou can imagine I had a lot of fun photographing them Lisa, but wasn't sure if everybody here would want to go wandering with me…maybe next time I'll post some! And what an amazing gift...
DeleteWhat a wonderful present and I really like the arrangement in the sand
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie - I felt a wee bit overwhelmed, but just love them! And it is fun trying to get hem to work in the sand as well - not as easy as it might look!
DeleteI'm sooooo jealous of the pencils! These are really cool.
ReplyDeleteAmazing gift and amazing results ... hmmm I am very interested in seeing where this leads or not. Could be quite simply - ephemeral pencil art! Love it!
