Unique Alphabets

By Leah of cricicis design

All spring I've been working hard on alphabet illustrations that feature birds perched atop the first letter of their name. Here's a sneak peak:

You can find more of the alphabet on my flickr account.

I've always loved the idea of illustrating the alphabet, whether its with found objects, like this pebble alphabet:

...or if it's a collection of amazing drawings to illustrate each letter like this print:

...or if it's a tediously arranged alphabet:

Since I've always wanted to make my own alphabet like these, and I've been on a huge bird kick, I had a go at it. I only have a few birds and their corresponding letters left to draw- and then I may be offering prints of the entire alphabet in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!
