This morning I had to fill in some time whilst the electrician was here fitting an extra double socket in my workroom so I thought I would play with the alphabet print blocks I have currently got on loan from Worcester branch of the Embroiderers' Guild. There is just a small fee of £1 to borrow them for a month and I have had them several weeks now and done nothing with them. I was inspired by some work by Jasper Johns.
I used an A3 sketchbook and printed the letters in three different colours. I will probably add a wash next, or perhaps some wax or oil pastels over parts of it to help retain some colour. You are not supposed to notice that two letters are missing - 'Z' and 'Q' .... I could only work with what I had and did intend making the second 'O' into a 'Q' somehow.
