Chapter 1 - Lettering

This is my collection of lettering for chapter 1.  I found this quite fun but did limit myself limit to 2 A3 pages so that I would stop!

Image 1:  Letter sheet - I had a lot of fun with these.  I dusted off old stamps, found a jar of foam letters on my shelf (no idea when I bought these!) and then did a wax crayon rubbing of the foam letters.
