Thanks for jogging over from Gauche Alchemy... : )
The rest of the pages from the Alphabet Do-Si-Do Book have been posted below... As on the Gauche Alchemy blog, I have added inspirational information under each set of pages, that includes what techniques/materials/tools were used on my pages.
Take what inspiration you want, leave the rest... Use this as a jumping off point or as a brainstorming session. Bookmark the post for later use... whatever floats your creative boat!... (Also, please post questions here, if you have any, and I will answer them in a timely fashion.)
Just make sure you try hard to remember to... Embrace the unknown!
