Following its completion back in March, the Alphabet Book has travelled to a few different venues and is next scheduled to be shown at the Navan Fine Arts Show & Sale June 6-7 at the Navan Curling Club. Other upcoming venues are listed on the events page. 

An addition is planned for the book - although only parts will be ready for the Navan show. I hope to have some of the new pieces available for viewing even if they are not yet inserted into its pages.

And what are those pieces?

The numbers 0 thru 9. By adding numbers, I will have more flexibility to make additional items such as birthday cards. Each letter - and eventually each number - has been scanned so that cards and other pieces can be made. 

Numbers 1 & 5 are done (see pictures below - click on the image for a larger picture).

- 1 is various types of stitches used to sew on buttons
- 5 is handwriting

And while this list is not final, here are some thoughts on the other techniques and/or materials that may be used for make these new additions (and in no particular order and with one extra in the list). I'll be trying to post the completed ones on Sundays. 

- water soluble paper
- altered book pages
- steampunk
- needle felting
- lutrador
- smocking (non-traditional)
- cord making
- embroidery on book cloth

Hope to see you at the Navan show!
