Y Is For…

Letter Y, pg 1
Y is for…
Ink

Y is for yellow. Y is for the Yucca leaves that Native Americans used for paint brushes. Y is for yarn used by textile artists, and for yard, a unit of measure for really big paintings. Y is for celebrating YAM (Youth Art Month) every March.

Y is for yugen, one of the ten Japanese qualities of mysterious skills that can be felt, but not defined, and the Yayoi art period of ancient Japan. Y is for Yarka pastels and drawing crayons, and for Yupo synthetic paper.

Letter Y, pg 2
Y is for…
Ink

Y is for Young, Yeames, Yelland, and Yu-Tang Yang, a notable pen and ink artist. Y is for Yvon, Yewell, Yon, and Yanow, contemporary pastellist and member of the PSA.

Y is for having a yen for art, and that’s no yolk!

    I tried to think of something clever to post in response to this one and all I could come up with was: Yumpin’ Yimminey is this ever good!

    Great job Lisa… as usual! ;)

    I’m ready for …. wait a minute, I have to start from A, B, C, using my fingers to get to the next letter after Y…. oh, ya, Z. I’m ready for Z whenever you are.

    I can’t believe you’re almost through the alphabet! And they keep getting better each time. :D

    Zzzzzz. Oops, Sorry Bill, these extra long afternoon naps have me behind in everything. Just got my halloween candy today, and it was all half price! I feel pretty good about that.

    Meg, I can’t believe I finished the whole alphabet. Took me long enough. :D
