Weekend fun: alphabets

I'm in love with typography and alphabet inspired art. 

The ALPHABET is a key tool in the physical toolbox of expression.

I'm proud to honor it today, 

along with these featured artists!

To start us off, here is a photo of the Celtic alphabet that hangs in my living room. I snatched it up the moment I laid eyes on it in a sweet, little shop in Dublin. It's based on the art found in the ancient Book of Kells.

As a teacher and children's book writer, I also swoon over alphabets created for children.
