In the “Tiny Writing” class I took last weekend (see more about the class here), one of the alphabets we learned was “Clothesline Caps,” where the letters are connected by a horizontal line on top and bottom and then the spaces in between are colored.
It’s quite festive, don’t you think? The picture above is the collaborative project we did in the class—on a 16-fold accordion, each of us wrote our initials and colored them. The horizontal lines connected the panels, so that when the accordion is folded, there a hit of color on the foreedge. Since we did a book for each student, it was really good practice for making the letters. I think by the last one I finally wrote an “S” I actually liked.
To get a better idea of the letters, below is an example sheet of the alphabet done by Kath Harney. And below that are examples of the font on cards by her friend Randi Kander.
