I traded 1.5" alphabet tiles with the Art Techniques group, waaaay back in late 2007. I have had these tiles in a little box thinking they were all cool and not having a clue what I would do with them. I finally made a decision and here is the result. The mat was a store-bought black mat when I started and I glued and painted and worked it to death until I finally felt it suited the piece. I think the hardest part was deciding which word to put in the center. Even with my choice, I wish the W were a bit larger. I guess I could change it, but that really isn't the point of a collaberative art piece. Click on the photo to see it close up. The tiles are all unique and pretty amazing.

LOVE IT!!!!
Great job! I'm so impressed that you used your swap stash. My quilt group has an alphabet challenge that should be fun. We each have to use one letter on the surface, along with something recycled and mounted onto stretched canvas.
OMG! I love this Michelle! I collect alphabet things! Among my favorites, I have a printer's stick I bought in England and I have a Welsh alphbet poster. This would look so cool with my collection. lol
(Now how did I get that! My word verification is demon!)
