These are getting better and better as you go.
Thanks, Casey. Some letters are more cooperative than others.
Another great post Lisa and the sketches, as usual, are inspiring. I love the little maid doing the dusting, what a great twist!
On a related note…I can’t wait to see what you come up with when you get to the letters ‘Q’ and ‘X’.
Thanks Rita. French maid = French curves. Feather duster = fan brush.
Yep, some of those letters just don’t want to play nice. I’ve been jotting down ideas as I run across them, but they’re few, and far between!
What a fun project — Found you thanks to Casey Klahn’s colorist blog and really enjoyed reading the past entries. E– uhmmm,
Hi Susie, and thanks for stopping by! I’m glad you’re enjoying my “recipe” for alphabet soup.
