The spatter box

This is the spatter box the wonder husband made me. I think his motto is 'ask and ye shall have'.

And these are the first 4 cut out letters to be spattered (A and B already started)

like so ... using a toothbrush dipped in ink rubbed against the mesh. It produces quite a fine spatter.

I hope to finish C and D on the weekend. In the meantime I have started my 'place' alphabet - more to come on that later,

Love the spatter/splatter box Meg! So simple yet so so perfect. There is also a lovely liveliness to those letters...

About A Letter a Week 2014

Welcome to A Letter a Week 2014, a project that began in 2010 and is primarily about having fun, experimenting and having a regular, small project to focus on each week.

The aim is simply to:

Write/create a letter a week

Creating 52 letters

Which must form 2 x alphabets (that is, not 52 x the letter ‘A’)

By the end of 2014

The main rule is that the letter must be presented on a piece of material measuring 7cm x 7cm

– this helps keep a sense of uniformity amongst the pieces which helps with exhibition coherence.

The other criterion for 2014 is that ONE alphabet has to meet the criteria of "Place”.

- that means the alphabet references place in some in way, but is still presented on the square. It could mean the alphabet describes a place; is photographed in a place, describes a place, reflects a place, tells a story of a place, a special place or the place where you live or work… Each alphabet must be turned into a final piece which could be used for possible publication or exhibition.

- that is, you must put all the letters together into a final piece of art.
