Been busy again, looking after Poppy while her Mum was even busier giving birth to these two, Iris and Grace on Nov 4th. Here they are a day old, they already look much prettier. They're settling down very well and Helen and Simon are even getting some sleep!
2.8.1. Making an alphabet. I've been collecting photos since the beginning of May, roping in friends and family to help so it's been great fun. I also made some of my own rules and 2 alphabets. One is of different letters found in the environment. I planned to find them in different places but ended up with several from gravestones as I really liked them and they are very different fonts. Just realised it's upside down and can't work out how to either delete the photo or add another one so will try another blog.
The other alphabet didn't have any found letters but shapes found in the environment. I decided I wasn't allowed to alter anything but the letters had to be exactly as found. I almost cheated with the z, making z-shapes with leaves and pine needles and then found the tree root, it was dusk by then so the photo isn't as clear as it could be. The object also had to be they way round it was, no turning photos upsidedown or back to front. All photos were taken outside too, even the cup of tea we were drinking at an outside cafe.
I felt the photos needed a border to show up but then tried again making the border narrower. I tried to work out how to stretch a photo (eg the m) but couldn't find a way but I am still quite pleased with the result.
