{e} is for egg ~ and yes, that's an E cut out of a hard-boiled egg
As you may have already seen, I’m participating in the Souvenir Foto School 2012 Alphabet Challenge, photographing something a representing a different letter every day.
Leading up to the start on February 1, I was racking my brains for a theme. I couldn’t quite lock in on something I was happy with. I even recruited Hubby for a few ideas. I started off hestiantly, and looking back I’m not as happy with ‘A’ now that the theme has taken shape. I may go back and change it.
So my theme is the actual letters ~ that was my starting point. And I’m using a cookie cutter set to display the letters in some way {checking five days in to make sure I had every letter, talk about prepared!}. And then it became about food. The theme evolved over the first few days and is now taking on a life of its own.
{f} is for fungi ~ one of my favourites so far
At first I was a little unsure, thinking maybe it would be too much of a challenge. But I’ve since brainstormed ideas for every letter, put the occasional call out for ideas, and the month is taking shape. And some of them have been a lot easier than I envisaged.
I was sharing them here everyday but have since gotten out the habit. So this is a catch-up, but this project is also pretty much taking up most of my creative space at the moment.
{g} is for grain ~ if you stare long enough, you can see the g
Hello! I'm Kellie and here I collect inspiration ~ beautiful photos, words on creativity, lovely printables and handmade items. I love autumn, cameras, and of course, the colour lime.
OH Kellie, I’ve loved this Alphabet challenge of yours from the beginning , but now I’m loving it even more!! I love your latest 3 entries so clever to different. ANd and pretty yet made out of the simplest things ( celebrating the ordinary and simple things is something I really believe)
Can’t wait to see h i and j and the rest,
xo
Thank you so much Jess! It is certainly growing on me as it progresses too. I can’t wait to see them all together at the end.
Whoops! I left my comment for this in the post below! I just said that I always look forward to seeing how you’ll pull the next letter off. This is such a creative theme so kudos to you for sticking it out and entertaining the rest of us!

Thanks Dorkys! It is certainly a challenge but I have started to plan ahead a bit now so it’s not all a rush, which is certainly helping. I’m glad everyone is enjoying it because it has been a lot of fun!
Wow, all of these are most excellent! Love your idea!
cowroad is talking about ..Hooked!
Thank you!! I’m certainly improving as it goes on, which is heartening!
I’ve been waiting to see what you had done since D, I was thinking egg for E but couldn’t think how you would do it, or what else you could use! Love the hard boiled egg E!!
I love them all but F is definitely the coolest!
Jaki is talking about ..A Day In The Life
Oh Jaki ~ thank you, that comment made me smile. I will endeavour to keep it more updated. I could only think of egg or egg plant and not the hugest fan of eggplant so … The eggy E was quite fragile so it was a bit of a challenge. F is a strong fave at the moment, also because it was so easy and quick to do too. I expect them to take me eons!
Kellie, your pics are awesome, and love the creativity you are using to represent each letter:) Never would have thought to “cookie cut” a mushroom:) Cyndy

Thank you Cyndy! It’s certainly pushing the creative mind ~ it’s a really great creative exercise!
Oh, I reckon it’s a fabulous theme! You’d be seriously hoping for seasonal quince and watercress and WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU GOING TO DO FOR ‘J’???

Those last two are the best so far. Can’t wait to see how the project continues… x and z seem tricky?
Melissa is talking about ..Melbourne Museum + Giveaway
Thanks Melissa ~ don’t worry, got them sorted too! I have a list
Okay, I thought A was my favorite, but now it’s got to be F. So imaginative, I never would have thought of fungi!
Brandi is talking about ..Mental vacation
I’m quite taken with F but thinking there might be some more fun ones coming up if I an pull them off! got to admit, mr google has helped with some ideas!
