Decorated Room Door Letters- A Work In Progress

I decided to decorate some wooden letters to put on my daughter's bedroom door. First problem I encountered was that I couldn't get the right letters! However I didn't let this stop me- I bought two 'F's' and cut the middle stalk off and sanded them down to turn them into 'L's' :-) After they were ready I had to put on an undercoat and then paint them blue- next step to decorate them. Finished letters to follow in a post soon!

Sketchbook for illustrated alphabet part 1

Here are my experimental sketchbook pages for my illustrated alphabet.

Mounted Alphabet

I wanted to mount the original letters to make them into a piece themselves rather than just sticking them into my sketchbook. It took ages to get all the measurements correct and cut it all out (and thankfully my lovely husband helped me work this out) but I think that it was worth doing and that the end result looks really good. Both sheets are A1 in size and have 13 letters on each page.
