Hebrew Alphabet

I probably am cheating by posting this here, as these are ATCs I am making for our ABC ATC swap on another blog. But I am so delighted with how they are coming out and I want to do way more than the ATCs with them. I plan to print them out in size 8" x 11" pages and put them together into a big Hebrew Alphabet book for my grandchildren who are presently learning Hebrew (written and spoken) in their school.
I've also thought of quilting some or all of them in book form too. And now that I see my collage the idea of quilting them and sewing them together this way seems to me would make a lovely wall hanging.
My brain never stops! I have four more letters to make tonight to complete the set. For now these are all on little 2 and a half by 3 and half inch cards done on light weight art paper and glued to card stock backings to be given away. What fun this is.
Wishing you a happy Friday and a lovely weekend ahead!

  7. Mary, thanks...yes, I love when the ideas flow...

    Lisa, I think you get more than one letter! ;-)

    Cat, I agree, and hope I can get this going.

    Suki, not completely original. I got the idea from a little Hebrew Calendar with art like this. Of course I did not copy them exactly, but copied the idea of letters with art in and around them.

    Julie, I'll surely post if/when I do them in fabric.

    Cris, not sure I said. I used pencil, ink, and Paperchase fine tipped marker pens. And the paper is in a little ATC sized sketchpad called #214 Normandy erasable sketch pad by Borden & Riley.
