To all who may read this blog and who have enjoyed watching the creativity that has abounded on these pages for the past five years, thank you so much for spending time with us.
It has been a delightful journey to embark upon, but one that has now reached its end. There will be no A Letter A Week 2015.
I started this wee project back in 2010 as a way of getting myself to do something small, anything at all, creative each week. It certainly did that, and my creative life has expanded and grown alongside each year's blog.
Through the blogs I have 'met' many wonderful artists and enjoyed their willingness to explore the alphabet in so many wonderful, beautiful and creative ways.
Along the way we were also able to hold a fabulous exhibition and showcase the beauty of the alphabet to many enthusiastic and impressed viewers.
But after five years, I have decided that the time is right to complete the project.
Thank you all for your presence, your contributions and your comments - I have enjoyed it all so much and I look forward to seeing how we all finish our alphabets this year.
Go well
Fiona
for all the lovely letters...

I'm so glad I could be part ALAW 2014. Thank you for this beautiful project Fiona. I hope in time you will formulate another exciting project. To more creativity, happiness and fulfillment in 2015.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Fiona, for leading this adventure, and letting us come along for the fun! I've enjoyed this project immensely, and treasure my ALAW 2014 collections.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed participating in ALAW and will miss it. Thanks for the last two years and best wishes for a happy and creative future
ReplyDeleteIt has been such a pleasure to be part of two editions of ALAW (2012 and 2014), so THANKS so much for this wonderful idea and the opportunity you gave us to meet and admire so beautiful parts of this art of lettering.
ReplyDeleteFiona, thank you so much for letting me take part in ALAW this year. It has been huge a pleasure seeing such beautiful and imaginative work. I hope everyone continues on their creative journeys, in which ever direction it takes you. If we meet in the ether again that would be great, as I know I will miss ALAW.
ReplyDeleteThank-you, Fiona, for all of your hard work for ALAW. Although I only participated this year, I have grown creatively and thoroughly enjoyed watching everyone's letters come to life. My head spins with new ideas thanks to this group and now I have the courage to see them through.
ReplyDeleteFiona, Thank you for this wonderful project and creative journey, I've been with you 4 of the 5 years and have enjoyed it so much: Happy 2015 and beyond to you!
ReplyDeleteFiona, thank you so much for your wonderful project. I'm only sorry that I did not have the courage to join in, but I did admire the amazing creativity that your project inspired in many others. Congratulations to all involved and best wishes for the future!
ReplyDeleteDear all - thanks for your generous and kind comments! It has been a delight to watch the wonderful works of art that have appeared from the humble letters of the alphabet. Thank you all for your contributions and beautiful letters - go well!
ReplyDeleteThank you Fiona for being such a wonderful support. I will miss ALAW being part of my life. I can't believe that 5 years have gone so quickly. Take care and I hope we meet up again.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lyndell - it has been great to have you along for the ride! Looking forward to the next catch-up.
ReplyDeleteFiona, I wanted to thank you for bringing so many artists together through ALaW - it has been a wonderful experience on so many levels. While I never did master the a letter "a week" part (and didn't always finish my alphabets/in a timely manner), the ideas & thought processes they inspired have been invaluable and extremely enjoyable. I will miss having ALaW always at the back of my mind, encouraging new trains of thought, but am sure that the work I have done toward the various alphabets - whether executed or still on the drawing board - will continue to show up in future projects.
ReplyDeleteAs we are so close, I will wish you all a very happy 2015, filled with creativity!
Thank you so much Fiona for the opportunity to be involved in this lovely project. I understand your need to move on though and I look forward to following your blog and seeing what new wonderful things you accomplish this year. Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa and Roberta - for your kind words and your contributions! It has been a delight to 'get to know you' through the letters and I wish you much happiness as you do your next things. It has been a delightful project to have running alongside other work and I'm glad it has inspired some wonderful work for you both. Go well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Fiona for all the hard work you put into A.L.A.W. and your constant encouragement. I am indebted to A.L.A.W. It kept me creating when I thought I was done with art, It opened new creative avenues to me and from this remote corner of Ireland I loved being part of the global alphabet family. I will continue to read your Paper Ponderings, You are such a talented inspiring person. I wish you good health and happiness for 2015.
