Anyways, I have been packing up my room and my things, ready for heading back to Cardiff. So expect a more Welsh flavour to my blogging from now on. Whilst sorting through my mountains of stuff gathered over the last year, I found so many things to post about on here. These alphabets are from a book called Decorative Alphabets through the Ages by Pat Russell. I really like them, and I would really like to do something inspired by them over the summer to keep my creative ways going. I've already made a "G" badge for myself out of one of them!
^ Fourteenth century letters taken from an embroidered altar cloth in the Church of St Mary at Soest in Westphalia.
^ Probably designed in Venice in the late sixteenth century.
^ This alphabet is called Lapidaire Monstre and is by the French type designer J.Midolle. The bottom third contains the surnames of famous men which correspond to each letter.
^ This work by John Smith is entitled Alphascape.
