Fiona's first alphabet completed

My first alphabet is hanging happily in the studio now.

Because the photographs of the pencils in sand made into letters seemed to be a fun, frivolous kind of thing, I chose to make a coloured garland.

Almost like alphabet bunting in a way.

I cut circles of coloured card and printed my photographs onto paper and put the two together and strung them with a crazy, mixed-colour yarn.

Laid out on the floor...



Overlapping  the card stops them from flapping I discovered.


I liked the idea of repeating the circle form of the glass jar with the circle form of coloured card.


Ta-da!


They seem to suit the studio space.

  1. Oh, Fiona, your alphabet looks so festive as a bunting for your workspace. I might borrow that idea for a bit of cheer in my studio. Thanks for making all of this "letter fun" possible for us.

    1. Thanks Maya - to get my circles onto squares and then back out onto circles again was fun!
