Both the art and musings intrigue me. Isn't it interesting how letters and spellings influence us? When I was small, my mother spelled my name "Kathie" and her sister wrote "Kathi." In school, kids called me "Katy" and my teachers wrote my name as "Kathy." Alas, no one thought up KZATHY!! Too bad, I could have been famous :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037549177881696434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926475327161474509.post-48372902553077692722010-06-02T10:39:14.515-04:002010-06-02T10:39:14.515-04:00Hi Dan, I enjoyed your thought's on letters, &...Hi Dan, I enjoyed your thought's on letters, "q" and "z" in particular.

The journal page works really well!<br />The snail/shadow photo looks awesome.<br />I had fun reading your alphabet thoughts - and was surprised with the Q being thought of as "highbrow". In french, Q is prononced like "cul" and that is the bad word for "backside"... not highbrow at all ^^!kazumiwannabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02314259816204251753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926475327161474509.post-50641432246438331822010-05-30T04:00:33.802-04:002010-05-30T04:00:33.802-04:00Another excellent post: sketch, journal page, phot...Another excellent post: sketch, journal page, photo and ... story !
