| Randy Keenan talks about her experience with her letter "S". |
“I had a blast making my “S” cards. I turned on some music, got
out my Sumi ink and just “painted” the shape on the cards then quickly went to
the sink and washed off the ink. The dried lacquer stayed black and the ink
that hadn’t quite dried was washed off - what a great time I had! Then on
a very rainy day I burned all the edges of the card and used the candle soot to
paint the backs.”
Front & Back - hand painted & own process, Sumi ink, soot, burned.

Front - original pen and ink
drawing, digitally copied onto Canson editions paper,then hand-painted in
watercolor and acrylic.
Back - original acrylic painting, with a collaged
banner (also original drawing) in the top section of the image, digitally
copied onto the card.

| Karen McDermott explains her work on letter "U". |
“Each card has a slightly different watercolor image painted behind the
umbrella tree.”
Front - relief print carved
on Mars Carve, printed by hand using black acrylic paint.
Back - pressure
sensitive letters were applied to a surface and then inked with an ink pad and
printed. Color was added with pencil and a sponge.
