The giant letterbook : FINISHED!

 Remember some months ago? When I started cutting linoleum for this project. 

Almost 30 lino-plates later the book is ready!!! I will didn't count my tears while binding this book.

Recently I'm following a course about bookbinding and all the related things, but binding a book of this size (A3) isn't even a command in the first year of the course. So I illustrated the text of Barbara Vanden Eynde and finished the prints as one enormous book. The book will be used in a guided tour for toddlers and it has even the size of a toddler. Hope they will love it!!!
Funny detail : 3 more books like this to finish :) Wish me luck!

A-B-P...

Time for Q and his friends. This is how far I am for now. Still to com is L and F.

In black and white for now to have a bright look on the form itself.

Any comments, ideas are welcome of course!

ABC - book in progress

I'm cutting and cutting, my back is hurting a lot...but I'm close to the finish and my own creations keep me going on. This viking turned out even more sympathic then I wanted, soon I fall in love with him :) Love the proces...colouring is so much fun!

The alphabet is growing... :)

C

AB and C....so the next one, about eating the most delicious chocolate spread like Nutella...we called it 'choco', mostly all the kids love it and it starts with a C but sounds like a ssssssschhhh :)
I'm cutting away more and more letters, linoleum is flying around, drawings are flewing out of my hand...I have so much fun doing this! Soon more!

B

The second one. Don't search for a link between the animal and the letter. The illustrations are going together with a text about letters and the magic of it. In this one it goes about the b that can form glasses together with his broter d...and so on ;) I know the owl doesn't need glasses but he was the right animal for this one I guess.

From A to Z

Starting a new project with all the letters of the alphabet...from A to Z, for kids under 6 years. This is a first trial...and error :) before starting for real making a huge book.
Hope I can count on your comments and thoughts while travelling through this new adventure!
Hear you!
