Collaborative Alphabet 

In addition to your personal pieces, you are invited to participate in a collaborative piece for this exhibition!  Each participating member will select an available letter of the alphabet (and numbers if needed) to scribe in any style they choose.  Attend a LL&L, member meeting or contact Katrina or Rosemary to pick your letter (early!) Using white or offwhite paper; centrally locate a 2”x2” square inside a 3.5 x 3.5” square piece of paper.  Your Letter will NOT be returned to you.
