Collaged alphabet project W. I drew a pencil outline for the W, thought a little, then filled in the internal counter space like buckets with some rocks and boulders painted with water colour. Decided to suspend the whole thing, I thought it needed a chain to hang them on but it was too hard to draw a chain all the way to the top. So I drew some girly knots and made it rope. Dale cautioned me to the suitability of the handmade paper I chose to cut the W out of, so I tested it after cutting out, before gluing it on. Went better than expected. I'm quite pleased how this worked out. Dale and I spent the day together, experimenting and playing with the various alphabet projects we are both doing.

I couldn't help commenting on them all as I wanted you to know how much I have enjoyed them...
This one was a complete surprise to me, I was amazed.
Thanks again Gwen.
Your W is truly amazing! You can stop practising now, you are a legend.
The trouble is I do not have the ability to start with a plan. This just sort of happens like Topsy, every nown agin. Thanks for the encouraging comments.
This is the most amazing responce to the alphabet project. I LOVE it big time!
I love this, so unexpected!
Thank you for your kind words Seesue and Christie. There was no rough copy or ideas sketch for the W, just straight into the book.
